The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday that more than 18,000 new cases of cholera were registered in only 40 days in early June in the city of Port au Prince in Haiti, where the epidemic claimed the lives of 5397 people since its inception in 2010. "Since May 2011, there are increased cases of cholera in parts of Haiti, especially in the vicinity of Port au Prince and the south of the peninsula," said Tarik Jasarevic, a WHO spokesman.
"From May 2 to June 12, there were 18,182 cases in Port au Prince," he said, attributing this increase to the rainy season and flooding that touched the capital.
