Some 200,000 at risk of cholera in Haiti, UN says
None
Up to 200,000 Haitians could contract cholera as the outbreak which has already killed 800 is set to spread across the battered Caribbean nation of nearly 10 million, the United Nations said on Friday.
That would be double the 100,000 cases during a huge cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe between August 2008 and July 2009, which killed 4,287 people. The UN forecast of the number of cases in Haiti was based partly on the Zimbabwe toll. (Reuters)
