A dengue fever outbreak has struck the Marshall Islands this month with the island of Ebeye in Kwajalein Atoll particularly hard hit.
Over 150 people on Ebeye are sick with the mosquito borne illness and two others in the Capital of Majuro are waiting laboratory test confirmation of the viral infection.
