Emergency Appeal: Cholera Resurgence in Hispaniola, 9 November 2022
Abstract
After more than three years without cases, Haiti reported on 2 October 2022 a cluster of cholera cases in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince. This cholera resurgence in Haiti is happening in a complex operational context, amid a volatile sociopolitical environment marked by blockades, fuel shortages, criminal gang activity and rampant insecurity. This Appeal focuses on addressing the immediate needs of the Haitian population in areas affected by the resurgence of cholera as well as protect the most vulnerable groups at risk of infection. This appeal seeks to support, expand and strengthen government and partners’ health response efforts to manage and control cholera outbreaks to reduce mortality and morbidity, and limit its spread to other communities and departments.
