"The national and international resources are beginning to reach their limits [...] there is an urgent need, of more staff and medical equipment, more tablets to purify water, more water tanks, more units of water treatment, more hygiene kits for families [...] A major effort has already been made, but the sheer quantity of relief items that need to be delivered in the days and weeks ahead is going to require more logistical and financial support for the Government [...] without this, the epidemic could outrun our efforts," said Nigel Fisher, the Humanitarian Coordinator of the UN in Haiti.
