MINUSTAH KOLERA satute

At the entrance of Port Salut a very controverted statute can be seen which depict a Haitian holding Haiti's flag with his foot on a blue helmet representing the UN. On the helmet MINUSTAH KOLERA can be read and under the helmet a mountain of skulls. This symbolic statute is a response to cholera epidemic started in 2010 which is still on-going nowadays. Some scientists said that the epidemic has the same strain found in Nepal; in the vicinity where the outbreak occurred, a Nepalese peacekeepers were stationed, therefore the MINUSTAH was directly pointed out. The UN is now being sued for the outbreak which killed over eight thousands people so far and sent hundreds of thousands in hospital. For the time being, let's hope the outbreak will be stopped before more people die from it.
