The American Refugee Committee (ARC) issued a press release last week marking two months since the earthquake. ARC “warns that many more people may die from the spread of diseases brought on by the fast-approaching rainy season.”
The release continues:
“A public health disaster looms, and thousands more people are still in need of assistance,” said Daniel Wordsworth, American Refugee Committee President. “Many people still need shelter, and, with the incoming rains, there is a potential for many more deaths from diseases such as malaria, typhoid, and diarrheal diseases.”
