The sick Egyptians (Egyptian chronicles blog)

Zeinobia posts the following health-related statistics for Egyptian people on her Egyptian Chronicles blog:

* 90% of the street children are threatened to carry HIV due to the homosexual practices and drug abuse
* There are 8 Million Egyptians suffering from Hepatitis mainly HCV and HBV "concentrated in Upper Egypt especially Qena"
* There are 6 Million Egyptians suffering from diabetes "I think that this number is smaller than the actual real number"
* There are 10 Million Egyptians suffering from asthma and allergy "Say hello to pollution and black cloud"
* There are 600,000 Egyptians suffering from tuberculosis "Thanks to Shisha"

She states that she collected the numbers from journals and newspapers.
