Deadly quake, cholera hit Haiti
A catastrophic 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit Haiti’s capital city, Port-au-Prince, on Jan. 12. An estimated 3 million people were affected by the quake; the Haitian government reported that an estimated 230,000 people had died, while 200,000 had been injured.

Now quake survivors face another tragedy in a deadly cholera outbreak whose death toll has passed 2,500. The international community has provided millions in aid for medical treatment, food and reconstruction.
