"Because of the poor quality drinking water and unsanitary conditions
there is an outbreak of diarrhea amongst most of the aid workers living
at the Quisqueya School [coordinates +18° 33' 41.93", -72° 19' 16.61"]. This can quickly turn
into a major problem and further exacerbate the already tenuous
hydration concerns. Everyone on the team is taking daily medication to
try and fend off these problems. The team is being very careful with
food and is purifying water from the showers for drinking."
