3. SOUNDBITE (English) Ulrika Richardson, Deputy Special Representative in Haiti and the Humanitarian and Resident Coordinator:
“We now have 11 cases confirmed. We've had seven deaths, confirmed deaths, and currently 111 suspected cases. We have close to 20 samples that pend confirmation in the National Lab. But this is a situation, as many of you know in the room, with cholera. It can evolve very rapidly and the actual numbers we think could be much higher.”

“We are actually in for quite an exponential - if not explosive - increase of cholera cases. One could even say that perhaps the conditions are there for a perfect storm, unfortunately.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Ulrika Richardson, Deputy Special Representative in Haiti and the Humanitarian and Resident Coordinator:
“Very worrying has been the interruption of water distribution. And as we all know in this room, clean water is actually one of the real conditions for a containing cholera outbreak and for saving lives during a cholera outbreak. So that means that potable water is very difficult to find, and as I mentioned, sanitation and health care is really severely impacted.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Ulrika Richardson, Deputy Special Representative in Haiti and the Humanitarian and Resident Coordinator:
“We've called for a humanitarian corridor to be established for fuel to flow into the city and into the rest of the country so that we can ensure our response. Without fuel there is no clean water, without no clean water, that will be more cases and very difficult to contain this outbreak.”

“We know that it's the same at serogroup as the one of the 2010 outbreak and this is what they call the Ogawa 01. So, that we know. What we don't know if it is the same strain, and that the lab here just does not have the capacity to determine. So, that right now is being investigated outside of the country."

STORYLINE:
A top United Nations humanitarian official in Haiti today (06 Oct) said the conditions could be given for “an exponential - if not explosive - increase of cholera cases” in the country.
Briefing journalists in New York via video teleconference, Ulrika Richardson, who is the Deputy Special Representative in Haiti and the Humanitarian and Resident Coordinator, said, “one could even say that perhaps the conditions are there for a perfect storm, unfortunately.”
11 cases of cholera have now been confirmed, including seven confirmed deaths. There are currently 111 suspected cases.
Richardson said, cholera outbreaks “can evolve very rapidly and the actual numbers we think could be much higher.”
The Humanitarian Coordinator express concern over the interruption of water distribution. She noted that “clean water is actually one of the real conditions for a containing cholera outbreak and for saving lives during a cholera outbreak” and added that “potable water is very difficult to find,” and “sanitation and health care is really severely impacted.”
Richardson said the United Nations has called for a humanitarian corridor to be established “for fuel to flow into the city and into the rest of the country so that we can ensure our response.”
She said, “without fuel there is no clean water, without no clean water, that will be more cases and very difficult to contain this outbreak.”
Fuel distribution has been disrupted due to gang activity.
Responding to a journalist’s question, Richardson said, “we know that it's the same at serogroup as the one of the 2010 outbreak and this is what they call the Ogawa 01. So, that we know. What we don't know if it is the same strain, and that the lab here just does not have the capacity to determine. So, that right now is being investigated outside of the country."
