Cholera Epidemic in Haiti

The Ministry of Health reported that as of Friday, November 12th, there had been 917 deaths and more than 14,600 were hospitalized with cholera-like symptoms.

The disease has been found in 6 of Haiti’s 10 provinces, known as departments, and is most severe where it originated, in Artibonite, which accounts for nearly two-thirds of the deaths.

OMS has much work in Haiti, with many missionaries and Haitian partners in need of prayer.

Someone from the OMS’s Bethesda Medical Center, was at Souffriere over the weekend, they have had over 30 people who have died there in the past week. Dr rodney spoke in the the clinic today about Cholera, he feels the only solution is prayer.  Haiti has all the conditions which enable cholera to spread rapidly….however we have a GOD who can change Everything…..please keep praying.

Also, at Radio 4VEH, OMS’s Evangelistic Voice of Haiti, many of our radio staff could not make it to the radio station today because of tensions in Cap Haitien and surrounding areas over cholera outbreak and mounting fears as elections due on Nov 28th.  Please pray in the next days for protection, provision (of supplies) and God’s hand to be on the election process and leader elected.    Our God is Greater.
