This factsheet provides an overview of humanitarian assistance to address widespread cholera outbreak in Haiti. Areas of Haiti have experienced unrest following the December 7 announcement of preliminary election results. Despite the unrest, USAID Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) grantees continue to provide cholera treatment and support cholera prevention where security conditions allow. ? The Government of Haiti (GoH) National Direction for Potable Water and Sanitation (DINEPA) reported suspended delivery of water to Port-au-Prince camps due to the unrest. On December 10, the USAID/DART reported that some non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have recommenced water distribution to camps and cholera treatment facilities where security permitted, including USAID/OFDA grantee Concern Worldwide. ? On December 8, USAID/OFDA provided nearly $400,000 to World Concern Development Organization (WCDO) to support training of 1,000 community trainers to provide cholera treatment and prevention information to beneficiaries in underserved areas of Port-au-Prince. During the sessions, the trainers will distribute oral rehydration salts (ORS) and identify areas in need of additional interventions. To date, USAID has provided nearly $29.2 million to support cholera prevention and response activities.
