Video Dispatch: Battling Cholera in Rural Haiti

Jeffrey Brown is in Haiti this week reporting on reconstruction efforts after last year's earthquake. He's also following up on the country's ongoing cholera outbreak, which has killed more than 3,300 Haitians.

He filed this dispatch on the cholera story from the rural Artibonite valley region of Haiti. It's been hard hit by the highly infectious water-borne disease.
