Haiti - Tragedy

On the 12th January 2010, an earthquake with a 7.0 magnitude hit this Caribbean island, killing about 217.000 people. As the Haitian people grappled with this tragedy, the country had a Cholera outbreak in October of this same year. This outbreak killed nearly 9000 people. 

Then, in July of the following year, a US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the United Nations’ (UN) peacekeepers from Nepal were the most likely cause of Haiti’s cholera outbreak. 

However, in 2015 a US Federal court ruled that the United Nations has legal immunity, and therefore it cannot be sued for the Cholera outbreak. Then, in 2016, the UN admits its part in the 2010 outbreak.
