>UNITED NATIONS — After six years and 10,000 deaths, the United Nations issued a carefully worded public apology on Thursday for its role in the 2010 cholera outbreak in Haiti and the widespread suffering it has caused since then.
>The mea culpa, which Secretary General Ban Ki-moon delivered before the General Assembly, avoided any mention of who brought cholera to Haiti, even though the disease was not present in the country until United Nations peacekeepers arrived from Nepal, where an outbreak was underway.
>The peacekeepers lived on a base that often leaked waste into a river, and the first cholera cases in the country appeared in Haitians who lived nearby. Numerous scientists have long argued that the base was the source of the outbreak, but for years United Nations officials refused to accept responsibility.
>Even though Mr. Ban’s office has acknowledged that the United Nations had played a role in the outbreak, his apology on Thursday was limited to how the world body responded to the outbreak, not how it started.
>“We simply did not do enough with regard to the cholera outbreak and its spread in Haiti,” Mr. Ban said on Thursday. “We are profoundly sorry about our role.”
...
>Mr. Ban’s apology — belated in the view of his critics — is part of his push for redress in Haiti before the end of his 10-year tenure on Dec. 31. Yet the people of Haiti have seen few tangible benefits so far.
>The United Nations has not yet met its promise to eradicate cholera once and for all from Haiti, though Mr. Ban’s aides said on Thursday that they were close to raising the $200 million they say they need to fix Haiti’s water and sanitation system and treat Haitians for cholera. Nor has the United Nations yet raised an additional $200 million it wants for “material assistance” to families and communities that have suffered; donor nations have not yet come forward with the funds.

Haiti has so much shitty aid that it's actually counter productive.

Haiti is the shittiest country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the shittiest on the planet.
The best plan would be to build a cordon sanitaire around the whole country and let them all die off, as no matter how many bazillions of dollars in foreign aid is provided year after year, generation after generation, Haiti NEVER EVER FUCKING GETS BETTER because the fundamental problem with the county, is the retarded Haitians themselves.

You can always tell a haitian. You hear loud yelling and nonsensical blathering and retard like laughter and oh what a surprise, a group of haitians.

The American Red cross pretty much laundered a lot of the aid.

no one knows what the Red cross did with they did with the half billion dollars. Hell the American red cross is a complete farce and many Hurricane Sandy victims can attest to.

I think it's kinda funny that the UN was giving aid to many places, and yet Haiti was the one to suffer an outbreak, of cholera no less.
The UN isn't at fault here, it's the fucking voodoo autocracy that is haiti. We should just abandon it completely, since that seems to be the only effective measure.

Did you not read the article?
The un Nepal soldiers camp dumped huge waste in the river which spread cholera.

You speak like a 16 year old

That would be because Haiti was whetr they sent the people who were just in Nepal. Duh.
>It's the fucking voodoo autocracy that is haiti.
