PAHO - Health Cluster Situation Report No. 10. Humanitarian Situation in Haiti. April 19, 2025

The PAHO Health Cluster Situation Report No. 10 for Haiti, dated April 19, 2025, describes the severe humanitarian crisis in the country, caused by socio-economic instability, political unrest, and rising violence. The health sector is severely affected, with many facilities either nonfunctional or operating at reduced capacity. There is an increased risk of infectious diseases such as cholera and dengue due to poor sanitary conditions and overcrowding. PAHO and its partners are providing emergency medical supplies, supporting health facilities, and strengthening disease surveillance, but they face major challenges such as security issues, logistical barriers, and funding restrictions. The report highlights the need to strengthen health infrastructure, improve coordination among humanitarian agencies, and increase funding for health interventions.
