Cholera in Haiti : Hundreds of Thousands Affected
Since cholera first appeared in Haiti in October 2010 the disease has already affected 645,000 people, which is more than 6% of the population. 8,028 deaths have been reported by the WHO. The WHO’s projections for 2013 are for 120,000 new cases, which would be about equivalent to the number of cases seen in 2012. According to a study done by Professor Renaud Piarroux and his team, Haiti suffers over half of all the cases of cholera in the world and about a third of the global deaths attributed to cholera.
