 ::::: Given no food during the first three days of the march, the prisoners were allowed to drink only from filthy carabao (water buffalo) wallows. Starved and suffering from malaria, dysentery, and tropical diseases, the prisoners endured barbaric treatment from their captors. During the march, those who were left by the wayside were clubbed, beaten, bayoneted, and left to die. More than 9000 prisoners died on the march, including nearly 2300 Americans.

 ::::: The Japanese failed to supply the prisoners with food or water until they had reached Balanga. Many of the prisoners died along the way of heat or exhaustion.[5] Prisoners were given no food for the first three days, and were only allowed to drink water from filthy water buffalo wallows on the side of the road. Furthermore, Japanese troops would frequently beat and bayonet prisoners who began to fall behind, or were unable to walk. Once they arrived in Balanga, the overcrowded conditions and poor hygiene caused dysentery and other diseases to rapidly spread among the prisoners. The Japanese failed to provide them with medical care, leaving U.S. medical personnel to tend to the sick and wounded (with few or no supplies).[ 

 :::: It's a moderately close paraphrase, perhaps closer than it ought to be, but a paraphrase nonetheless. Not a cut and paste copyright violation.
