Venezuelan health workers say an epidemic that may be malaria has killed dozens of people, decimating three villages of the Yanomami Indians in a remote part of the Amazon rain forest.
Two indigenous health workers who visited the area said village chiefs told them about 50 people have died recently, many of them children.
