Haite

La gente es muy enferma en Haiti. There has been an outbreak of Cholera in Haiti. Over 200 people have already been counted dead since the earthquake in January. Along with the 200 deaths, 2000 have been counted as sick with Cholera. The living conditions don't help with this illness.

humpback whales

Hay setenta y cinco las ballenas muertas en Brazil. This is a record of dead humpback whales found on the shore of Brazil. In 2007 the record was 41. Scientists are debating whether its disease that is killing the whales or if it is the warming waters killing the krill that the humpback whales eat. Most of the whales have died out in the ocean and then washed up on shore but a few have washed up on shore and then perished.
