Haiti's cholera death toll has passed 1,000 as mounting anger at the health crisis sees tensions spike. The health ministry says the cholera death toll has risen to 1,034, with about 16,800 people hospitalised since the disease surfaced in late October.
Some locals are accusing Nepalese United Nations peacekeepers of bringing the disease to the earthquake-hit nation.
Burning tires have sent thick black smoke across the northern city of Cap-Haitien, where thousands of protesters went on a rampage Monday (local time), setting a police station ablaze and threatening to torch a UN compound.
Two Haitians died in the riots, including one shot by a peacekeeper in an incident that raised fears of further unrest.
