Haiti is a country that has experienced much pain and hardship. Last year they had a terrible earthquake which killed around 300,000 people and destroyed more than 100,000 buildings. This year they are troubled again by problems which are related to the terrible earthquake. Cholera has already killed over 500 people. Recently, the death tolls have averaged around 50 deaths each day. This is a terrible situation made worse because it is completely preventable. (by Prof. Simon Smith)
