One jug of bleach per person would give everyone clean water for years. Even at $10 per jug that's only 100 million
Haiti is still in a poor state following the 2010 earthquake. Many communities do not have access to a reliable water supply. I have no idea about the costs, but it would no at all shock me to find it would cost $2 billion (or more) to get the entire population access to reliable water supplies that could be treated appropriately.
Not sure why the water access isn't getting more press given its direct relation to disease.
