A slow death': Haitians face mounting crisis
After three years without cases, cholera is spreading through Haiti\u2019s poorest neighbourhoods as they struggle for access to clean water.\n\nAt the same time, nearly five million Haitians are facing acute hunger.\n\nGangs have seized the majority of Haiti\u2019s capital, a critical fuel terminal, and the nation\u2019s politics remain unstable after the assassination of the president in July last year.\n\nIt\u2019s these compounding crises that have led the unpopular current government to call for international intervention from the US, Canada and the UN \u2013 a controversial move in a country with a long history of foreign meddling.\n\nToday on Front Burner, independent Haitian journalist Harold Isaac explains how citizens are enduring yet another desperate situation, and why they\u2019re starting to feel like they\u2019re on their own.
