Post Hurricane Cholera UPDATE

The International Organization for Migration has officially announced that there is a significantly higher increase in cholera cases than what was originally predicted. The IOM has counted 3593 new confirmed cases of the infection as well as 837 suspected cases. The spokesperson for the IOM, Jumbe Omari, says that 10 000 cholera kits were handed out in 31 camps around Port-au-Prince. These kits include fresh drinking water, food and antibiotics that will help the sick until they can be seen by a doctor.
