【Pure water】Cholera death toll jumps in Haiti
|
||
|
The death toll from a cholera outbreak in Haiti has leapt past 250, officials say More than 3,000 people were infected, said Gabriel Thimote, director general of Haiti's health department. Five cases of cholera were detected in the capital, Port-au-Prince, but UN officials said the patients had been quickly diagnosed and isolated. Around a million survivors of January's earthquake are living in tents near the city with poor sanitary conditions. But Mr Thimote expressed optimism the outbreak could be contained. "We have registered a diminishing in numbers of deaths and of hospitalised people in the most critical areas," he said. "The tendency is that it is stabilising, without being able to say that we have reached a peak." Quick killer Health officials have been trying to contain the outbreak in areas north of the capital. The five victims isolated in Port-au-Prince had become infected in the Artibonite region - the main outbreak zone - and then travelled to the capital where they developed symptoms, the UN's humanitarian affairs agency said. This meant Port-au-Prince was "not a new location of infection", it added. Aid officials have described the prospect of a cholera outbreak in the city as "awful". Those in the camps are highly vulnerable to the intestinal infection, which is caused by bacteria transmitted through contaminated water or food. Cholera causes diarrhoea and vomiting leading to severe dehydration, and can kill quickly if left untreated through rehydration and antibiotics. The worst-hit areas of the outbreak were Saint-Marc, Grande Saline, L'Estere, Marchand Dessalines, Desdunes, Petite Riviere, Lachapelle, and St Michel de l'Attalaye, said the UN. A number of cases have also been reported in the city of Gonaives, and towns closer to the capital, including Archaei, Limbe and Mirebalais. |

it will be an unfortunate thing if these people who just past through earthquake suffer from chilling cholera which can bring you so sever diarrhea and vomit that probably you will die of it if there is not sufficient medical intervention.so bless with them! |
