UNITED NATIONS, United States, Oct 25 (APP/AFP): The United Nations is struggling to raise $200 million to help the families of victims of a deadly outbreak of cholera in Haiti, a senior UN official said Monday. The financial aid follows the United Nations’ admission that it had a moral responsibility to help Haiti deal with the epidemic that has been blamed on UN peacekeepers. Almost 10,000 people have been killed and 700,000 affected since the outbreak in 2010. There are still 500 new cases of cholera reported every week. UN envoy David Nabarro, who is leading negotiations with donors and with the Haitian government on the aid package, said drawing voluntary contributions was difficult.
