In the context of the railway inferno and the collapse of buildings, it seems that Egypt`s poor are destined to suffer from a chain of other `natural` calamities. Residents of Damas, a village in Dakahliya Governorate, are expected to be the subject of another chapter of this endless tragedy, which, albeit conforming with the general context of victimizing the poor, restores to our memory the heinous horrors of the Middle Ages. In the epoch of globalisation and high-tech innovations, villagers of Damas are hit by the Typhoid infection, which, according to the statement of the Minister of Health, Dr Mohammad Awad, to Al-Arabi Weekly, threatens to become a disastrous epidemic.
