In Zimbabwe, a cholera epidemic is sweeping the country and causing widespread death and suffering. The disease has spread rapidly due to the country's political chaos, economic meltdown, and ongoing starvation. Foreign journalists are banned from the country, so a journalist and photographer traveled undercover to report on the crisis. They found a humanitarian crisis of biblical proportions, with families living deep in the bush and in cities and suburbs struggling to survive. The situation is tragic and some believe it may have been intentionally orchestrated by Robert Mugabe to crush his critics.
