Haiti - Humanitarian : The UN and its partners launch a "Flash Appeal" of $145.6M for Haiti 16/11/2022 09:53:43
"Cholera is a preventable and treatable disease, and based on their experience and expertise, national institutions quickly put together a response strategy with the determined support of the entire local and international humanitarian community," said UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, Ulrika Richardson adding that “however, the surge in cases in recent weeks and the rapid spread of cholera in the country is worrying." According to PAHO/WHO, 500,000 people are at risk of contracting the disease https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-38142-haiti-cholera-daily-bulletin-38.html The cholera crisis has hit already vulnerable populations hardest.

The UN and partners are calling for funding to support national authorities in their efforts to contain the spread of cholera through the provision of clean water, hygiene and sanitation, and health activities, while addressing urgent food security, nutrition, and protection needs in the most affected The entire humanitarian community stands alongside national institutions to overcome the challenges of Haiti's complex crises.
