Cholera death toll rise in Haiti Kevin Kittilsen

The death toll in Haiti due to Cholera is on a steady rise. So far the death toll has reached over 900 people according to the Haitian Ministry of Health, and is still climbing. There have been around 15,000 hospitalizations due to this bacterial infection. One major impact that this will take is on the Squalid Camps that were set up from the deadly earth quake that occurred 10 months ago. There is beginning to be a spread of this infection through these camps at a rapid pace. We will see how this plays out, depending on how well they are able to get this under control.
