Cholera

I know not everyone reading is interested in following the news alerts for Haiti - but it has been confirmed that there is an outbreak of cholera in the Artibonite Valley, Saint Marc, and Gonaives, Haiti. I have seen some conflicting numbers but a few sources are quoting 135 dead already. Estimated 1500 more affected so far ...


Earthquakes, homelessness, hunger, tropical storms, and now cholera .. Beyond heartbreaking and horrible.

1.   jen_halverson with adequate treatment, cholera is deadly in only a small % of cases--but access to adequate treatment will be a big issue in Haiti about 1 hour ago

   cholera is a HUGE problem in a country in which many do not have access to clean water; it can spread quickly in this kind of environment about 1 hour ago 

 
I just wanted to ask everyone who is able and willing to say a prayer over this situation. Please.
