A surge of cholera from Dr. Louise Ivers, Partners In Health of Boston, Massachusetts, United States for Monday, 10 October 2016
We're now hearing reports of cholera cases on the rise in Haiti, and it will only get worse from here.
Hurricane Matthew killed as many as 900 Haitians, and over 1 million people in the south are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Many have no clean water and are vulnerable to cholera and other dangerous water-borne diseases.
This weekend, PIH reached several communities in the south, supporting colleagues in the region. And right now, we are working on placement of mobile clinics and a comprehensive cholera response.
That includes emergency treatment for the ill and preventative measures to stop the spread of cholera and other diarrheal ailments—especially dangerous to kids.
But it's your gift that makes this possible.
With gratitude,
Louise
