Cholera outbreak behind Haiti deaths: health official

Port-Au-Prince. An outbreak of cholera was to blame for dozens of deaths in Haiti in recent days, a health official said Thursday, AFP reported.
“The first results from the lab tests show that there is cholera, but we don’t know which type,” an official from the public health ministry told AFP, asking to remain anonymous.
“The government and the health authorities are meeting at the moment and an announcement will be made,” he added.
Health officials said earlier that at least 50 people had died from acute diarrhea and hundreds were being treated in local hospitals as laboratory tests were carried out to determine the cause of the illness.
The outbreak of illness was outside the capital, which was ravaged by a devastating 7.0 earthquake in January, leaving more than 250,000 people dead and another 1.2 million homeless.

  1. This is a fast breaking story, where I get new info rapidly.
    It is up to 135 people dead, 1500 sick.

    There are medical professionals who want to enter the area, but have no money or transportation to do so. If Haiti ever needed military helicopter support, the time is now, to get medical professionals rushed to this disaster area.

    Le pou yo te fe pwomosyon pou telefon selile, yo te kraze brize tout estrikti teleko.Yo plonje peyi nan blakowout, pou yo kapab vann koura yo pral pwodui nan izin prive yo. Yo depote kriminel soti nan anpil peyi pou vin simen latere tribo bao nan peyi a. Chak fwa yo kidnape yon moun, yo fe konnen ke gras ak telefon selile ke kidnape yo rive negosye avek paran moun yo kidnape a.

    Yo entedi pou teleko fonksyone byen epi EDH pakapab mache jouk yo akapare sekte founi kouran nan peyi a pou fe izin ak lot kay prive fonksyone. Kidonk, piblisite pou biznis fet ann Ayiti ak zak kriminalite selman. Se konsa, yo panse mennen pep la labatwa, menmsi l pa vle.

    Kounyeya, yo bezwen vann plis dlo, yo di ke tout moun dwe bwe dlo nan boutey plastik pou yo pa mouri anba kolera. Tout se manti. Poukisa yo pa konstwi chatodo pou pep la? Poukisa yo pa trete dlo pou pep la. Poukisa yo pa mete dlo nan chak kay? Mezanmi, menmsi yo di kek bagay ki bon wi, men, se konsa Lisife aji. Li bay twaka manti, yonka verite pou li menmnen moun nan lanfe.

    Kolera ka p ravaje popilasyon an, se yon plan byen prepare pouj yo touye tout Ayisyen, pou yo kapab akapare tout riches peyi a. Se yo tout k ap plenyen paske, Ayisyen two entelijan, two rezistan devan lanmo. Yo lage piyay medikaman ak konsiltasyon gratis pou yo atire pep la vin pran medikaman ke yo te prepare pou reyalize eksperyans sou li, kounyeya, men rezilta a.

    Mezanmi, moun sa yo pa konn fe kado tande.
