The report below comes from Brian Hatchell, CBM's Emergency Communications Coordinator, who is currently in Haiti assessing the recent cholera outbreak.
As of Sunday 250 people had succumbed to the illness and 3,000 others were affected.
No matter where you go and who you talk too 'cholera' was the topic on everyone's lips.
In a country still reeling from the effects of the January 12 earthquake, this is the last thing anyone wanted or expected. A cholera outbreak was feared in the weeks after the quake, but no one I spoke too says they thought it would happen now.
While the response has been swift, only time will tell if it was effective enough to contain the outbreak.
The worry is that it could head south and threaten the millions of people living in tents throughout Port au Prince. If that happens, it could be devastating.
From our guesthouse we can hear people worshiping in a church close by. The Sunday service starts at around 6 am and runs until well into the evening. I can only imagine how many prayers are being offered up to help those already dealing with the outbreak, and for it to be contained.
While I don't personally fear the impact of an outbreak, even in Port au Prince, I pray God will spare these people, who have endured far too much already, another devastating disaster.

'What next?', Haiti - Brian Hatchell
Wednesday, October 27, 2010
The report below comes from Brian Hatchell, CBM's Emergency Communications Coordinator, who is currently in Haiti assessing the recent cholera outbreak.
Cholera in Haiti
It's been a crazy couple of days in Haiti. All anyone is talking about is the recent cholera outbreak in the northern part of the country - Artibonite region - about 100 kilometers north of Port au Prince.
As of Sunday 250 people had succumbed to the illness and 3,000 others were affected.
No matter where you go and who you talk too 'cholera' was the topic on everyone's lips.
In a country still reeling from the effects of the January 12 earthquake, this is the last thing anyone wanted or expected. A cholera outbreak was feared in the weeks after the quake, but no one I spoke too says they thought it would happen now.
It makes you wonder, how much can a people endure, when will the suffering end?
While the response has been swift, only time will tell if it was effective enough to contain the outbreak.
The worry is that it could head south and threaten the millions of people living in tents throughout Port au Prince. If that happens, it could be devastating.
From our guesthouse we can hear people worshiping in a church close by. The Sunday service starts at around 6 am and runs until well into the evening. I can only imagine how many prayers are being offered up to help those already dealing with the outbreak, and for it to be contained.
