Cholera is endemic in Haiti and projected to kill as many as 1,000 people a year until it is eradicated

All the families of the victims want is a formal apology, better sanitation and water infrastructure, and compensation to those affected

Under both international law and the specific agreement, the UN has broad immunity and refused to do anyone of them
