CHOLERA OUTBREAK IN HAITI: REPORTS THAT I HAVE BEEN GETTING IS THAT IT IS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY... OVER 100,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INFECTED WITH HALF OF THEM IN HOSPITALS...THOUSANDS HAVE DIED... WHOLE FAMILIES OF 8 TO 10 ARE ALL IN THE HOSPITAL... THEY HAVE CLOSED THE BOARDER TO THE DOMINICAN AND FLIGHTS ARE GROUNDED FROM LEAVING HAITI..STILL TO DANGEROUS TO TRY TO ATTEMPT TO GET TO THE AIRPORT EVEN IF FLIGHTS WERE ABLE TO GO... MOST PEOPLE DIE WITHIN 2 TO 3 HRS. ONCE THEY ARE IN CONTACT WITH THE CHOLERA... IT IS MUCH MORE CONTAGIOUS THEN THE WORLD HEALTH HAD PREVIOUSLY PREDICTED...
THEY ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF INTRAVENOUS WATER AND CLEAN DRINKING WATER... ONE OF THE WAYS THEY ARE TRYING TO STOP THE SPREAD OF CHOLERA IS BY NOT ALLOWING THE FAMILIES TO TAKE THEIR DEAD RELATIVES TO BE BURIED...THIS PREVENTS THE FAMILY FROM contacting CHOLERA FROM THE DISEASED...THIS MAKES IT VERY HARD ON THE FAMILIES TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH NOT BEING ABLE TO GIVE THEIR RELATIVE A FAMILY BURIAL ... EMERGENCY SHELTERS HAVE BEEN BUILT IN MANY PLACES TO ACCOMMODATE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AS THE HOSPITALS ARE FILLED TO THE RAFTERS.... PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE THEIR OWN BEDS AND BLANKETS TO THE HOSPITAL OR SHELTERS AS THEY HAVE RUN OUT OF SPACE, BEDS, BLANKETS AND HEALTH CARE WORKERS... WE KNOW OF SOME SCHOOLS THAT HAVE CLOSED AS SOME OF THE CHILDREN HAVE DIED OF CHOLERA THAT WEre ATTENDING THESE SCHOOLS.... NONE OF THESE SCHOOLS ARE ANY OF OUR locations.... WITH ALL THE RIOTING AND KILLINGS THE COUNTRY IS ON THE VERGE OF A CIVIL WAR...
PLEASE PRAY FOR HAITI, HER PEOPLE AND ALL THE RELIEF WORKERS THAT ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES TO BE THERE TO HELP THESE PRECIOUS PEOPLE... IT IS ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF THE 9,000,000 PEOPLE THAT ARE CAUSING SUCH DESTRUCTION ...
