UN Secretary General Ban Kimoon said that the actual number of death from the cholera in Haiti is about 3,600 people and not around 1,800 as previously estimated. For the next six months, The UN secretary estimated that 650,000 new cases of cholera will be detected in Haiti.

The UN Secretary also said that Haiti is currently in need of more medical personnel.

On the other hand, I heard that some Haitians think that cholera is not a natural illness but rather supernatural, and has something mystic in it.

Do you think that cholera a voodoo spell?

What do you think about those who think i is?

We say we have democratic election to elect president and senators, those are supposed to be our leaders.
