The United Nations is appealing for more funds to tackle the spread of cholera in Haiti.
UN aid agencies say the mortality rate is higher than normal for cholera and infections are rising fast.
They are also warning that the epidemic in Haiti could run out of control.
More than 11,000 cases of the disease have now been recorded and more than 700 people have died.
The UN wants the money to deliver clean water and medical supplies.
UN officials say up to 200,000 Haitians could contract cholera, with the outbreak set to spread across the battered nation.
