List of the World's Emergencies

The actual news is listed at Reuter's AlertNet: today's summary of significant world emergencies.

As an example, here is Asia:

Typhoon Damrey
Aceh uprising
Afghan reconstruction
Cambodia recovery
Chechnya war
China floods
East Timor nation-building
Encephalitis in India
Georgia, Abkhazia, S. Ossetia
HIV/AIDS in Asia
India's northeastern clashes
Indian Ocean tsunami
Kashmir dispute
Moluccas violence
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
Nepal insurgency
North Korea famine
Philippines-Mindanao conflict
S. Asia extreme weather
Sri Lanka conflict
Thailand violence

I am too overawed even to click on the Vietnam Montagnard crisis. And Bird Flu is listed separately.

Unlisted: Iceland. I am happy to report no major crisis in Iceland. I might even buy a ticket.
