PAHO - Health Cluster Situation Report No.25. Humanitarian Situation in Haiti. 6 September 2025

In 2025, Haiti continues to face a deepening humanitarian emergency marked by widespread insecurity, displacement, and limited access to essential services. Armed violence and gang control have severely disrupted daily life, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee their homes and straining the delivery of food, water, sanitation, and health care. The resurgence of cholera in late 2022, after a three-year absence, has further complicated the crisis, with conditions in displacement sites heightening the risk of disease transmission. To date, 1,287,593 people have been displaced across the country as a result of recurring gang violence, 83% of whom have been taken in by families.

This SitRep provides an overview of key health and humanitarian indicators, including the evolving needs of affected populations and the response efforts led by national and international partners, based on data available as of Epidemiological Week 36 (August 30, 2025). 

Highlights:

• The monthly displacement update reports a total of 209,940 displaced persons in July 2025.
• A downward trend in new suspected cholera cases was observed during Epidemiological Week 36 compared to the same period last year.
• Since Epidemiological Week 25, no confirmed cholera cases by culture have been reported out of a total of 2,471 samples analyzed by the National Public Health Laboratory.
• Response to Displacement and Forced Repatriation: A total of 24,342 internally displaced persons were assisted in the Ouest Department, and 20,567 forcibly repatriated individuals received clinical screening upon arrival at the Belladère, Ouanaminthe, and Anse-à-Pitre points of entry.
