In Nigeria, Time Running Out for Kids Poisoned by Lead

By

The medical aid group Doctors Without Borders estimates that 1,500 children are suffering from lead poisoning in a northern Nigerian village, and can not be treated until the lead is cleaned up.  The organization says if the cleanup does not begin soon, it may not be able to treat the children when, or if the cleanup ever happens.
