WHO Declares Biological Risk In Sudan

The World Heath Organization (WHO) has declared a “huge biological risk” as rebels in Sudan seized the National Laboratory.  Sudan has been in civil war for 11 days. The lab contains sample diseases and medical technicians no longer have access to the lab. Power has also been cut from the lab, meaning samples and biological materials can not be properly stored and maintained. There is concern that the lab will turn into a “germ bomb”.
