PAGE / NUMPAGES 海地震后爆发霍乱 海地首都太子港爆发的霍乱已夺取了250名无辜的性命，现已有超过3000名居民患病。太子港肮脏不堪的难民营俨然成了霍乱病菌的滋生地，而这里有130万地震幸存者生活在这里。卫生机构和救援人员正全力以赴防止疫情扩散和患病死亡人数的激增。 PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – A cholera outbreak that already has left 250 people dead and more than 3,000 sickened is at the doorstep of an enormous potential breeding ground: the squalid camps in Port-au-Prince where 1.3 million earthquake survivors live.
