"Mr President, of course there are co-factors that have undoubtedly encouraged the spread of cholera in Haiti. This is certainly not an answer, but it is an explanation. The answer to this scourge must be twofold.
For the moment, the aid workers on the ground have confirmed to us that soap, substances to make the water fit to drink, and proper hygiene education are needed. Preparations are being made in the present situation for the long term as well. In a country in which everything is still to be done or redone, reconstruction is necessary after the earthquake, and priority must be given to building infrastructure that is designed to improve both individual and collective hygiene.
I hope that, eight months after the New York conference on the reconstruction of Haiti, it will no longer be possible to cite a lack of funds as an excuse for the little progress recorded to date, given that all the speakers agreed that the humanitarian phase must continue for many months yet. It will also be necessary to name those responsible for the slow progress without too much beating about the bush."@en1
