This factsheet provides an overview of humanitarian assistance to address widespread cholera outbreak in Haiti. ? On December 7, USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) provided $5.8 million to International Medical Corps (IMC) for health and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions targeting nearly 1.3 million beneficiaries. IMC is establishing eight cholera treatment centers (CTCs), seven mobile medical units, and 17 oral rehydration points to reach identified gaps in coverage for the Haiti cholera outbreak. IMC will also provide health education messages to prevent the spread of cholera. ? On December 3, the Health Cluster'the coordinating body for health interventions'reported 162 operational cholera treatment facilities, an increase from 97 facilities as of mid-November. The facilities have approximately 5,900 beds available to treat patients. Health Cluster members, including USAID/OFDA grantees, continue to expand the number of available treatment facilities, particularly in areas where treatment availability gaps have been identified. To date, USAID/OFDA has funded the establishment of 33 cholera treatment facilities. The U.S. Government (USG) is also working to expand the capacity of a number of USG-supported health sites in Haiti to serve as cholera treatment facilities to further expand treatment coverage. ? As of December 7, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that the U.N. cholera response appeal has received $35 million towards the $175 million appeal, representing 20 percent of requested funding; an additional $27 million in donor contribute.
