UN apologizes to Haiti for cholera epidemic

The United Nations on Thursday formally apologized to Haiti for its role in the country's cholera epidemic after refusing to admit its responsibility up until this year.

"On behalf of the United Nations, I want to say very clearly: we apologize to the Haitian people. We simply did not do enough with regard to the cholera outbreak and its spread in Haiti. We are profoundly sorry for our role," UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, speaking in Creole, English and French, said at the General Assembly at UN Headquarters in New York.
