The early start of the rainy season in March caused 22 deaths, flooding and landslides, and the loss of crops and livestock in six departments:
Ouest, including Port-au-Prince metropolitan area, Nord, Nord-Ouest, Sud,
Nippes and Grande Anse. Close to 20,000 people, a majority of them living in IDP camps, were affected by flooding. The subsequent contamination of water sources led to a sharp increase in the number of new cholera cases.
