Credit: Reuters/St-Felix Evens By Joseph Guyler Delva PORT-AU-PRINCE | Wed Nov 17, 2010 3:32pm EST PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Anti-U.N. riots in the Haitian city of Cap-Haitien have disrupted international efforts to tackle a spreading cholera epidemic, increasing the risk of infection and death for tens of thousands of poor Haitians in the north, aid workers said on Wednesday. The situation in Haiti's main northern city remained tense on Wednesday following two days of unrest, in which protesters angry over the unchecked epidemic attacked U.N. peacekeepers and set up burning barricades of tires, U.N. officials said. Most of Cap-Haitien's main avenues were still blocked and the airport was closed. The U.N. mission in Haiti said it received a local police report of about 200 protesters stoning a hospital outside Cap-Haitien and "foreign doctors" at the site. No additional details were immediately available. The cholera epidemic, which has killed 1,110 people and sickened 18,382 as of Monday, has piled misery on the Caribbean country as it struggles to recover from a massive January earthquake and prepares for crucial elections on November 28. The violence in Cap-Haitien, in which some armed protesters fired on U.N. troops and two demonstrators were killed, prevented cholera patients from reaching hospitals and halted distribution of medicines. Dozens of people were injured. Protesters blamed U.N. Nepalese peacekeepers for bringing the cholera to Haiti, a charge denied by the U.N. mission. Local media reported bodies of cholera victims -- a major infection threat -- being left in the streets of the city of close to 1 million, where aid agencies are battling to contain the fiercest spike of the month-old Haitian cholera epidemic. "We have to get aid to these people right away and this unrest is delaying that," Julie Schindall, spokeswoman for the international charity Oxfam, told Reuters. She said vital time was being lost to combat a fast-acting diarrheal disease where hours can mean the difference between life and death. "Every day we lose means hospitals go without supplies, patients go untreated and people remain ignorant of the danger they are facing," the U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Haiti, Nigel Fisher, said in a statement. Cholera is spread by contaminated water and food, but if caught early can be easily treated by oral rehydration fluids. If not treated, it can kill in hours. The riots, in which Nepalese peacekeepers in the central city of Hinche were also pelted with rocks, have raised tensions ahead of the elections in the Western Hemisphere' poorest state. But the Haitian government has not moved to postpone the polls and the United Nations, which has a 12,000-strong peacekeeping force in Haiti, says logistical, technical and security conditions are in place for the polls to go ahead. PRESIDENT APPEALS FOR CALM President Rene Preval appealed for calm. "Neither burning tires, nor throwing stones or bottles, nor shooting can kill the cholera germ," he said in speech late on Tuesday. U.N. officials blame the Haitian riots on criminals and political agitators they say are seeking to disrupt the elections, which will choose a successor to Preval, a 99-member parliament and 11 members of the 30-seat Senate. 1 2 Next World United Nations Natural Disasters Health Comments See All Comments (2) | Post Comment Nov 17, 2010 2:50pm EST While previous Reuters articles have reported that the rioters blame the U.N. for the cholera outbreak, this article omitted this important point. I’m not giving credence to this ridiculous charge but it does provide motivation for these desperate attacks on aid workers. Similar, isolated attacks have occurred against Red Cross workers in the U.S. at various times. wildcatherder Report As Abusive Nov 17, 2010 3:59pm EST Where is the Pope through all of this. Has he gone to Haiti to offer hope to this overpopulated, impoverished hell? No way! It’s too bad the Vatican which is so against birth control of any kind is out of the picture during a real catastrophe brought on largely by overpopulation, poverty and ignorance. oldcreative Report As Abusive See All Comments (2) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
