Haiti cholera reaches Dominican Republic

More than 1,000 Haitians have died of the disease, cholera. The Dominican authorities had stepped up border controls and health checks to try to stop cholera from spreading from Haiti but the disease had spread too rapidly that it's within their control right now. If the number of cases continues to increase at the same rate, then they are going to have to adopt some drastic measures to be able to treat people,"said MSF's head of mission Stefano Zannini." The country was already struggling to recover from a devastating earthquake in January and now they are having epidemic. It caused fear in Haiti.

I feel sad for the people in Haiti as not only do they have earthquake, they are having epidemic right now. Most of their infrastructure are damaged and i doubt they have the capital to rebuild it till the epidemic are over. I think that it will take a very long time for them to recover from all the illness and the loss of family members or friends. Sooner or later, the government would used up all their reserved to the country and no investor would want to invest in Haiti because of the natural disaster,earthquake, and the epidemic. In my opinion, i feel that we should help the Haitian by raising funds and helping them to restructure their infrastructure. They are suffering right now and this is the least we can do for them. If the school organises a volunteering trip to Haiti, i would go for it and try to do as much for them.
