United Nations Denied Its Role in Haiti's Cholera Epidemic / Pooja Bhatia
If the United Nations had done a modicum of good sanitation at its hastily constructed base, we would not have seen cholera infected fecal matter spilling into a tributary of Haiti's major river.
Pooja Bhatia Agarwal joins This Is Hell! to discuss her recent Baffler article, "Deadly Strain: How the UN sought to deny its role in Haiti’s cholera epidemic." Plus, another dose of Rotten History from Renaldo Migaldi.
