Jul 19, 2013
UNITED NATIONS, CMC - The United Nations says its emergency relief fund will allocate an additional US$1.5 million to the cholera response in Haiti at a time when cases are set to rise due to the rainy season.
“Cholera has claimed over 8,100 lives and infected over 660,000 people since the outbreak began in Haiti in 2010,” said the Operations Director of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), John Ging.
“It is vital that we do not allow more lives to be lost,” he added.
