The designations employed and the presentation of material in the report do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. www.haiti.humanitarianresponse.info Part one: Summary Humanitarian needs & keyfigures Impactofthecrisis Breakdown of people in need Severity of need 03 People in need 2.1M PART I: HUMANITARIAN NEEDS Humanitarian NEEDS& KEY FIGURES The humanitarian situation in Haiti has deteriorated considerably in 2015 due to the convergence of multiple humanitarian risk factors. These include a sharp increase in food insecurity resulting from drought and the prolonged effects of “El Nino”, the persistence of cholera and a protection crisis triggered by the forced / voluntary return of thousands of Haitians from the Dominican Republic. The immediate needs of the 60,000 people who remain displaced from the 2010 earthquake cannot be overlooked. Finally, the country has a high exposure to climate hazards and natural disasters coupled with limited national response capacity. Haiti remains a largely fragile environment from a governance and development perspectives with high insecurity, overpopulation, widespread poverty, huge economic inequalit ies, a dysfunctional health system, extremely poor access to safe water and sanitation, limited agricultural production, and high environmental degradation.

  • CHOLERA COUNTRY PROFILE: HAITI Last Update: 27 April 2011
    WO RLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION Global Task Force on Cholera Control CHOLERA COUNTRY PROFILE: HAITI Last update: 27 April 2011 General Country Information: The Republic of Haiti is located in the western part of the island of Hispaniola, in the Greater Antillean archipelago. It shares border with the Dominican Republic located in the Eastern part of the island. Haiti is divided in 10 departments further divided into 41 arrondissements. Port-au-Prince the capital, is the largest city of Haiti. The natives of Hispaniola known as Taino were invaded by Spanish settlers after the discovery of the island by Christopher Columbus in 1492. The French established a presence in the beginning of the 17 th century. In 1697, the western part of the island (which later became Haiti) was given to the French by Spain. The French colony quickly became wealthy due to profits from the sugar-related and coffee industries. Many African slaves were brought and significant environment degradation occurred during that time. Haiti gained its independence from France in 1804 after a revolt from the slaves. It was the first independent nation in Latin America. Haiti politics have gone through a lot of turmoil in the past 200 years. The country suffered 32 coups and has a long history of oppression by dictators. Long years of political instability left the country with huge social and economic problems.
