Haiti 1yr free of confirmed cholera cases. The risk remains, however.
"Only when we ensure all Haitians enjoy access to clean water and sanitation can we breathe more freely.” - Dr. Carissa Etienne of PAHO.
Until introduced in 2010 by the UN, cholera was unknown in Haiti.

Please read our piece ⬇️ on the decade passed since the Léogâne earthquake. Give thanks especially to @EHayesdeKalaf for her work on this https://twitter.com/HaitiSG/status/1216425752167624704
The vulnerabilities within Haitian society that made the #12janvye earthquake so damaging are now worse. 10 years on, we call for renewed solidarity with those who continue to fight for real change in Haiti https://haitisupportgroup.org/remembering-haiti-earthquake/
And yet, Haitians live. They have rebuilt their homes as best as they can. They have struggled through the cholera epidemic visited on them by the United Nations. Their survival despite incredible odds won't top the news today. But they will keep surviving nonetheless. #noula
