@directrelief: Hear from Direct Relief's Luis David Rodriguez about the latest shipment of emergency medical supplies and Direct Relief Cholera Kits departing the organization's Santa Barbara warehouse bound for Hope for Haiti. The delivery is part of Direct Relief's ongoing response to Hurricane Melissa. Each cholera kit contains essential supplies and equipment needed to care for people with cholera. A severe case of cholera can become deadly within hours, but with access to safe drinking water and a few common medical supplies, such as oral rehydration salts and IV fluids, most people recover. Direct Relief remains committed to supporting those impacted by Hurricane Melissa.
