But officials fear an outbreak in densely populated tent cities that have poor sanitation and meager medical facilities has the potential of unleashing a public health disaster.

Čak 138 ljudi umrlo je od epidemije akutne dijareje u središnjem Haitiju, a evidentirano je još 1526 slučajeva oboljenja od misteriozne bolesti za koju dužnosnici ministarstva zdravstva sumnjaju da je kolera, pišu svjetske agencije.

Bolnice su pretrpane bolesnicima, od kojih mnogi u samo nekoliko sam umiru od ubrzanog dehidriranja.

Glasnogovornik UN-a za humanitarna pitanja Imogen Wall kaže da Svjetska zdravstvena organizacija (WHO) i UN čekaju rezultate laboratorijskih ispitivanja te da još uvijek ne znaju radi li se smrtonosnoj bolesti. Haićanski liječnici pak tvrde da su prvi provedeni testovi ukazali na koleru.

Epidemija akutne bolesti, prenošene hranom i zagađenom vodom, najveći je problem otočne države pogođene strašnim potresom u siječnju u kojem je živote izgubilo 300 tisuća ljudi, a milijun i pol ih je ostalo bez domova. Bolest izaziva jaki proljev, te ukoliko se ne liječi, završi smrtno u roku nekoliko sati.
