Protests are continuing in Haiti over the cholera outbreak that has now killed over 1,000 people. On Tuesday, residents clashed with U.N. troops in the city of Cap-Haïtien for the second consecutive day. Nepalese troops stationed there have been accused of inadvertently bringing the cholera outbreak to Haiti. Haitian President René Préval has issued a nationwide appeal for calm a week before elections to determine his successor. At a camp for earthquake survivors in Port-au-Prince, community activist Fenel Domercant said Haitian and U.N. officials have failed to warn residents of the cholera outbreak.
Fenel Domercant: “We do not receive any aid here in this camp. You would think there was never a problem here, because no one ever came here to campaign against cholera and make the people aware of the situation.”
