Haiti has suffered from cholera epidemic brought there by well intentioned outsiders (thought to be UN peacekeepers from Nepal)... over 7,000 deaths so far
Jon Kim Andrus, deputy director of the Pan American Health Organization, said that as of December, on top of the deaths, the Haitian government had reported more than 520,000 cholera cases with 200 new sufferers appearing each day.
Andrus said it was "one of the largest cholera outbreaks in modern history to affect a single country."
