Cholera has already killed more than 2,000 people and infected about 100,000 more in Haiti. The likely source of the outbreak? Troops from the United Nations. Oh my.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – A French disease expert says there is strong evidence linking U.N. peacekeepers to a cholera outbreak in Haiti that has killed more than 2,000 people.

Renaud Piarroux says in a report that the most likely explanation for the outbreak is that Haiti’s Artibonite river was contaminated by a base of U.N. troops from Nepal.

The scientist conducted his research on behalf of the French and Haitian governments. The Associated Press obtained the report on Tuesday.

Has the United Nations ever actually helped anyone, anywhere?
