Highlights
- Between January and March 2024, 2,505 people were killed or injured as a result of violence perpetrated by armed gangs, an increase of 53% compared to the last quarter of 2023.
- Logistical constraints, especially with regard to supply, are causing increasing difficulties in accessing food and other basic goods, resulting in a consequent rise in prices.
- Haiti has strengthened its surveillance for early detection of cholera and other potentially epidemic diseases, with support from the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO).
