Reply to comment by TitaniumDreads in TIL cholera was reintroduced to Haiti after a century by UN peacekeepers responding to the 2010 earthquake. The resulting outbreak was the worst on record, killing 10,000 and infecting 820,000. by theworkinglad

I did not know that. I seem to recall that epidemiologists had traced the cholera outbreak to a company of Nepalese soldiers serving as UN forces.

I Googled your information. Incredibly bleak.

To me, the bleakest thing is that they caught them fucking 7 year olds and most of them faced zero punishment. They just got sent back to sri lanka.
