GENEVA -- The United Nations says the cholera outbreak in Haiti has plateaued and appears to be diminishing.
A spokeswoman for the U.N. humanitarian coordination office says the overall fatality rate is down to 2 percent from 9 percent earlier in the outbreak.
Elisabeth Byrs told reporters in Geneva that Haitian government figures show 231,070 reported cases and 4,550 deaths from the disease since it began in October.
Byrs says donors have met 45 percent of the U.N.'s $175 million cholera appeal for Haiti.
