Seoul faces the heaviest rainfall since decades

Record rainfalls hit Seoul, South Korea's capital, submerging vehicles and flooding homes and subway stations. The situation is critical with at least 8 people dead so far and many more injured. Seoul's Dongjak district recorded more than 141.5 mm of rain per hour - the highest rate since 1942, according to Korea's Meteorological Administration (KMA) - the highest rate since authorities began keeping records. The Korea Meteorological Administration said up to 300 mm of more rain is forecast for the capital area through Thursday, with southern Gyeonggi Province likely to see rains surpassing 350 mm.

US doctor issues warning of many undiagnosed polio cases

A health official in New York State has announced that there could be hundreds or even thousands of undiagnosed cases of polio there. It follows an announcement last month that an unvaccinated man had been paralysed by the virus in Rockland Country, New York. The vaccination is the only weapon against this virus. We should be all vaccinated, especially our children. In some areas of US the access to health care and therefore vaccination are limited due to the high cost of health insurance. Unfortunately, there are still many countries where vaccination is not mandatory and still many children are not vaccinated against polio. The position of the World Health organization is clear and states that "All children worldwide should be fully vaccinated against polio, and every country should seek to achieve and maintain high levels of coverage with polio vaccines in support of the global commitment to eradicate polio."
