Emergency response
In 2021, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake caused
2,248 deaths, injured 12,763 people, and
destroyed thousands of homes. Cholera
reemerged in October and spread rapidly,
after more than three years with no
presence
reported. Epidemiological surveillance capacity
is low and confirmation of cases is minimal, due
to scant resources and the difficulty in getting
samples to labs due to lack of fuel and presence
of roadblocks by armed gangs. It is currently
estimated that 35 per
cent of the population
in Haiti lacks access to safe water and up to 65
per cent have either inadequate sanitation or
none at all.
The IFRC launched
an Emergency Appeal to
assist 35,000 people affected by the earthquake,
which was revised in December to include the
cholera outbreak.
