Millions of people are dying because of disease, epidemics and lack of
 medical attention.
Other contributing factors in the rise in number of death are the inability to
foot bills of medical treatment, lack of inoculation in many
developing countries and deprived societies and war, with all its brutal
shapes. War is responsible for the loss of millions of human lives, while
leaving the survivors either wounded or maimed forever, thus further
aggravating the suffering of many individuals and communities.
