Haiti's cholera outbreak has not peaked: WHO

The cholera outbreak in Haiti that has claimed the lives of 3,651 has not peaked, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday.

"We think that the peak has not been reached," said Fadela Chaib, WHO spokeswoman, of the deadly disease that has also infected 171,304 people.

"There will be certainly many more cases of cholera in Haiti, it's certain. But what is sure is that fewer people will die," added the spokeswoman, noting that the mortality rate had already been cut from nine percent late last year.
