Haiti is confronting what’s being called it’s biggest medical emergency since the January earthquake with a suspected outbreak of cholera. Nearly 140 people have died and over 1,500 have fallen ill in the central region of Lower Artibonite. Haitian presidential candidate Charles Henry Baker appealed for aid after visiting the area.

Charles Henry Baker: “The situation is terrible. Inside the hospital, they’re overcrowded. They’re not overcrowded, it’s beyond overcrowded. They need some field hospitals put up as quickly as possible to be able to take in the amount of people they have. They need doctors. They need nurses. OK? People are all over, on the floor, the way it was after the 12th of January. We need help. We need quick help.”
