The Comite de Coordination des ONGs Internationales en Haiti (CCO HAITI) calls on the national authorities, the international community and donors to engage in saving the lives of the thousands of Haitians threaten by the cholera epidemic that is affecting the country.
The cholera epidemic that struck Haiti in October 2010 has killed more than 7,400 and affected more than 580,000 people. Responding to the epidemic continues to be an urgent priority in 2012 and will require improved services in the areas of health, water, sanitation, and hygiene promotion.
