According to data provided this week by the UN, some 152 possible cases of cholera reported at the beginning of October have risen to almost 9,000, with the disease already present in eight of the ten provinces of the country.
Haiti reported its first cholera case in more than three years in early October, having managed to overcome a 2019 outbreak of the disease that began in October 2010 and killed nearly 10,000 people.
The resurgence of cholera adds further stress to a complex humanitarian situation amid a volatile sociopolitical environment marked by roadblocks, fuel shortages, violent gang activity and insecurity that restricts the provision of basic services, including access to water and medical care.
