I don't want to sound politically correct, or as if I'm minimising the
disaster in Asia because I'm not. I have been to some of those places
and can imagine a bit of what they must be going through. But 3 million
people die from malaria every year, half of them children; 25 million people
in Africa have HIV/AIDS, and 6,000 of them die of it every day.
