Haiti unrest hampers desperate fight against cholera
Anti-UN riots in the Haitian city of Cap-Haitien have disrupted international efforts to tackle a spreading cholera epidemic, increasing the risk of infection and death for tens of thousands of poor Haitians in the north, aid workers said Wednesday.
The situation in Haiti's main northern city remained tense on Wednesday following two days of unrest, in which protesters angry over the unchecked epidemic attacked UN peacekeepers and set up burning barricades of tires, UN officials said. (Reuters)
