THE OUTBREAK OF CHOLERA IN HAITI.


The outbreak of the epidemic called cholera has been reported in Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince . Over two hundred and fifty people have died as a result of the infection , while thousands others have been hospitalized in critical condition. The Haiti overwhelmed government has requested humanitarian assistance from governments and international Organizations to help prevent the spread of the deadly disease at both the domestic and at the international levels. The Organizations have responded promptly and despatched airplanes with the required equipments, medicines and doctors to Port-au-Prince to help contain the spread of cholera from one town to another and to the neighboring countries.
