Funding gaps are seriously impacting frontline services for those in need in Haiti. Although the number of IDP camps is steadily decreasing, 21 per cent of camp population is currently under threat of eviction. According to MSPP, since July, the number of cholera cases has declined from 12,583 in May to 6,586 as of 31 July 2012.

In 2012, the United Nations and the humanitarian community in Haiti launched a Consolidated Appeal initially of 231 million dollars to meet IDPs assistance, cholera and emergency preparedness and response. The CAP mid-term review of this appeal, has been revised downward to 128 million to focus on core humanitarian needs and to take donor constraints into account.

Le sous financement humanitaire affecte considérablement la capacité des acteurs humanitaires à venir en aide aux populations affectées. Le nombre de personnes dans les camps diminue progressivement, mais 21 pour cent d’entre elles, sont menacées d’expulsion. Selon le MSPP, depuis juillet le choléra est en nette régression. Le nombre de cas vus est passé de 3 748 au 26 mai à 1 418 cas au 11 juillet 2012.
