residents told them that the UN’s pipes had leaked into a tributary of the Artibonite River, the main water source for hundreds of thousands of people. Associated Press journalist Jonathan Katz found his own damning evidence. A UN press release had claimed that seven septic tanks serviced the base and were emptied by a private contractor. But when Katz arrived at the camp, locals took him to see the reeking tanks. Katz saw a broken PVC pipe coming from inside the camp that was leaking black fluids toward the river.
