Earthquake to Cholera

Directly after the earthquake in 2010 (well ten months after the outbreak in Haiti), there was a very large and disastrous outbreak in Haiti. It was caused by Nepalese peacekeepers who controlled the water supply. The water supply was contaminated because a human waste disposal site was improperly managed. This outbreak took a huge tole on Haiti. It affected one in every twenty Haitians and killing 9,000 people. The number have began to significantly decrease after 2014.
