PAHO Situation Report N.5. Haiti Humanitarian Situation. April 15, 2024

Download	The PAHO Situation Report highlights the critical humanitarian crisis in Haiti, exacerbated by escalating armed violence and gang control since mid-September 2022. A cholera epidemic reemerged in October 2022, spreading rapidly after three years without cases. Since February 29, 2024, the situation has worsened due to increased gang activities, affecting security conditions in Port-au-Prince and the Artibonite department. Access to essential services like healthcare is increasingly restricted. The National Ambulance Center faces challenges accessing gang-controlled areas. PAHO is focusing its limited funding on urgent life-saving needs, supporting emergency and essential health services in hospitals, particularly for pregnant women and internally displaced persons (IDPs). NGOs funded by PAHO continue to operate mobile clinics in IDP sites. Access this report for up-to-date information on the Haiti Humanitarian Crisis and PAHO's response.
