Fighting An Epidemic & Planning an Election

We get an update on the fight against cholera in Haiti, where thousands of people have fallen ill and hundreds have died.

The death toll from cholera continues to rise in Haiti, even as the nation prepares for a major election November 28. In the latest in our special series on Haiti, we'll hear about the spread of the disease and how it's affecting the nation's health infrastructure. We'll also look at the politicking and promises being made as Haitians prepare to go to the polls.
