The United Nations was set up to promote world peace and ensure no country’s struggle or crisis goes unnoticed and unaccounted for. Just like the crisis Haiti is facing right now. Unfortunately, the current outbreak of Cholera in Haiti was introduced 1131 days ago by acts of negligence carried out by United Nations personnel: U.N. MINUSTAH troops.
8,459 documented deaths, 693,955 taken ill since October and hospitalized hundreds of thousands more while spreading to neighboring countries including the Dominican Republic and Cuba.
The ongoing Haiti cholera outbreak is the worst epidemic of cholera in recent history, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
