Cholera Epidemic in Haiti

The Haitians are currently experiencing the worst medical emergency since the January earthquake. There is a cholera outbreak currently underway in the country. As of Saturday over 200 people have died from cholera and there are over 2500 confirmed cases. The main source of the outbreak is contaminated water. I am frustrated with how the government prioritizes needs for the people. How can they provide the people with access to televisions during the World Cup but fail to provide an adequate amount of clean water?
