UN RENEWS PLEDGE TO HELP HAITI OVERCOME CHOLERA EPIDEMIC New York, Oct
9 2013 7:00 PM The United Nations remains committed to do all that
it can do to help the people of Haiti overcome the cholera epidemic, a
spokesperson for the world body said today.

"The United Nations is working on the ground with the Government and
people of Haiti both to provide immediate and practical assistance to
those affected, and to put in place better infrastructure and services
for all," Farhan Haq told a news conference in New York.

His comments came in response to questions regarding a class action
lawsuit filed today in a United States Federal Court in New York in
connection with the cholera outbreak in the aftermath of the
devastating 2010 earthquake. The suit calls on the UN to compensate
victims of the epidemic.

Over 650,000 infections and more than 8,000 deaths have been reported
by the Government of Haiti since the disease, which is typically
contracted through contaminated food or water, appeared in the country
in October 2010.

"With regard to possible claims against the Organization, as has been
stated with regard to other cases that are subject to litigation, it
is not the United Nations' practice to discuss in public claims filed
against the Organization," said Mr. Haq.

"As there are legal processes under way, we cannot make any further
comment on this particular situation."

In December 2012, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched an initiative
for the elimination of cholera in Haiti and the Dominican Republic
that focuses on prevention, treatment and education.

The initiative supports an existing campaign – known as the Initiative
for the Elimination of Cholera in the Island of Hispaniola –
established by the Presidents of the two countries.

The Organization has already taken a number of measures since the
outbreak began, including establishing/upgrading cholera treatment
facilities, constructing waste water treatment plants, purchasing oral
cholera vaccines, and supporting community-based hygiene campaigns.Oct
