AIDS is that disaster!... * Every year 3.1 million people die of HIV and AIDS-related complications worldwide. * Every month nearly twice as many die of AIDS as died in the tsunami disaster, 20 times as many per year. * January 2005 Makgatho Mandela, 54, a Johannesburg lawyer and son of former South African president Nelson Mandela, (one of the world's great AIDS activists), died of complications from AIDS. * In MCC alone, we buried 6000 MCC friends and members during the 10 years from the early 80's to early 90's.
* According to estimates from the UNAIDS/WHO AIDS Epidemic Update (December
2004), 37.2 million adults and 2.2 million children were living with HIV at the
end of 2004. This is more than 50% higher than the figures projected by WHO in
1991 on the basis of the data then available. |
