Two years after quake, Haiti still struggles with cholera - Toronto Star
EXCERPT:
Ivers, senior health and policy adviser for Partners in Health who lives in Haiti, said people in rural areas often live several hours from a water pump that draws from a clean water source. Many people cannot afford to buy soap to wash their hands or fuel to boil the water and kill the cholera organism, she said.
“It’s not a question in Haiti of ignorance. It’s access,” Ivers said.
With Reverence,
