World aid response to Haiti quake falls short

MUCH of Haiti’s earthquake-hit population still live in dangerous conditions and the international aid response to the cholera outbreak has been insufficient, a critical health charity report claims today.

Cholera, which has killed 3,500 Haitians in recent months, is set to remain in the Caribbean country for years to come, it warns.

Ahead of the first anniversary this week since Haiti’s devastating earthquake, the Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF) report says the international aid effort can be much improved.
