Violent protests and demonstrations in Haiti in response to last night's election results are overshadowing ongoing urgent cholera response needs.

The International Rescue Committee is continuing our efforts to curb the spread of a devastating epidemic that is killing dozens of people in Haiti every day. Follow us on Twitter to get the latest from our team in Port-au-Prince on how we are helping earthquake survivors living in crowded camps protect themselves from this preventable disease.
