Help for Haiti Brings Cholera Instead | Top Secret Writers

About 10 months after the 7.0 magnitude hit Haiti in 2010, the country was stricken with a cholera outbreak that killed nearly 5,000 people.

There were more people who were killed in the violence that spread due to the outbreak than were killed in the actual Earthquake.

The Cholera outbreak sparked “witch hunts” throughout the country, which resulted in the deaths of at least a dozen people. Also, violent protests and riots broke out.

At the time, many Haitians believed that the U.N. caused the epidemic. Then, the U.N. denied the accusation. However, it has been reported that the U.N. is now taking partial responsibility for the outbreak.
