Senior UN official calls for Haiti cholera compensation
BBC News reports the call from a UN representative Gustavo Gallon asks for "full compensation" for the 600,000 victims of cholera in Haiti.
The UN has never acknowledged responsability for the epidemic.

I think it is really important for the UN to help this people because every day more and more people get infected by this disease every day and they are getting no help from the government. Since the day of the earthquake in Haiti, thousands of people were left with no home and have been exposed to hundreds of diseases.
After all we have learned in class it makes me think if the UN is really going to help because due to the history of UN vetos, there is little chance that this request will be approved.
