Violence aimed at United Nations peacekeepers in Haiti spread to the country’s capital of Port-au-Prince on Thursday.
Hundreds of protesters threw stones at U.N. peacekeepers and shouted anti-U.N. slogans, according to Reuters.
“MINUSTAH brought cholera to Haiti,” protesters shouted, referring to the U.N. mission.
Protesters believe Nepalese peacekeepers are responsible for bringing cholera into the country. The protests started on Monday in the northern Haitian city of Cap Haitien.
At least two protesters have been killed in clashes between rioters and U.N. peacekeepers, according to Reuters.
On Wednesday, the U.N. issued a statement saying they have been unable to reach certain parts of the country affected by cholera with medical supplies and personnel because access roads to health clinics are blocked.
According to the latest numbers from Haiti’s Health Ministry 1,100 people have so far died in the cholera epidemic.
