Situation Overview:

1. Earthquake: Despite a decrease by 75% of IDPs living in camps, there are still 390,276 people (97,913 households) in the camps in the Ouest and Sud-Est departments, representing 4% of the Haitian population. 19% of them are threatened with eviction.
2. Cholera : Close to 170,000 new cholera cases are expected by the end of the year; about 35,000 new cholera cases have been reported since January 2012. Challenges remain in the integration of cholera into the health system; cholera care is largely provided by humanitarian actors facing challenges of increasingly limited resources.
3. Preparedness and response to emergencies, during the 2012 hurricane season: Haiti is vulnerable to multiple hazards (floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, drought). Despite registered progress, the emergency response capacity of the Government and Haitian civil society remains limited.
