the UN [#Haiti] Country Team is almost two months late and $9.8 million short in dealing with Haiti’s #cholera. And of course the ineptitude of the #UN and its reliance on begging bowls will result in “longer or more severe outbreaks.”
Cholera is now endemic in Haiti. Longer and more severe outbreaks will be of no interest to Haiti’s foreign masters. (…)
The US government, which is behind most of Haiti’s sorrows, spends $604.5 billion yearly on military defence. That’s $1.656 billion daily. By redirecting three or four days’ such spending, the US could provide safe drinking water and sanitation for everyone in Haiti.
