Haiti Cholera Death Toll Rises Above 250
Date: 24-Oct-2010
THE toll from a cholera epidemic in quake-hit Haiti has risen to 253 dead and 3015 infected, health officials said on Sunday.

The numbers from Gabriel Thimote, director-general of Haiti's health department, were not a big jump from the toll a day earlier of 220 dead and just under 3000 infected, and came as officials expressed some hope the outbreak could be contained.
