Last year’s deadly cholera outbreak in Haiti, which killed 4,500 people, was linked to Nepalese UN peacekeepers who were stationed at a base in the country, a UN panel has conceded.
The panel found that “evidence overwhelmingly supports” the conclusion that the epidemic began via the contamination of the Artibonite River near the troops’ base, with a south Asian strain of cholera.
In a report published on Wednesday night, it also listed a series of measures that the UN should introduce to ensure its peacekeepers do not introduce cholera to the countries in which they work.
YA I DID SAY IN ONE OF THE ARTICLES THE UNITED NATIONS WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINING IT TO HAITI. I NEW I WAS CORRECT, BY THE WAY THE UNITED NATIONS OPERATE.
Stuuuuuuuuuuupeeeeeed. 4500 dead…what about over a million saved. This was not intentional. It is sad and rather unfortunate but do you really think they would be better off with no help at all?
If I were the Haitian people, I would sue the UN for this. 4500 deaths and all along the haitian people have been saying that the UN peacekeepers were at fault and they denied denied. Anyways Lord, watch over the people of Haiti. They need to come together and work with each other to bring Haiti out of this hole in has been in for so many years.
