Geneva (dpa) - The death toll in Haiti's cholera outbreak has

Thursday, citing figures from the Haitian health ministry.
There were 4,722 confirmed cases of the disease in Haiti, mostly
in Artibonte department and other northern areas of the country.
Health services' priorities were to protect families at the
community level and strengthen the medical response, the WHO said,
also announcing technical information, including which antibiotics
were resistant to the strain of cholera in Haiti.
