Persistance du choléra en saison sèche en Haïti : Épidémiologie – État de la lutte – Recommandations pour une élimination rapide

  1. Introduction

En octobre 2010 débutait en Haïti une épidémie de choléra dont la brutalité et l’ampleur restent sans précédent depuis le début de la 7e Pandémie en 1961. Malgré une intervention rapide du MSPP massivement appuyée par les ONG et la coopération internationale, l’épidémie persiste toujours dans ce pays de 750 km et millions d’habitants. Près de deux ans et demi plus tard, environ 650 000 cas suspects et plus de000 morts ont été recensés par le Ministère de la Santé Publique et de la Population (MSPP).

Hurricane Sandy: Hackers, a satellite dish and an IKEA canteen

OCHA’s new report, Humanitarianism in the Network Age, looks at how important communication is for people and communities affected by disasters. One of its findings is that with the advent of mobile technology, communication and information should be treated as a form of humanitarian aid. This case study shows how relief organizations in the United States incorporated this approach in their response to Hurricane Sandy which hit the east coast in October 2012.
