Haiti Health Cluster: Quarterly Bulletin 2, April to June 2026

In the second quarter of 2026, ten major incidents of armed violence displaced 50,867 people, 19 percent more than in the previous quarter, and the West department again held most new displacement, mainly after violence in Cité Soleil. The estimated number of internally displaced people was 1,466,862 in May 2026, and 141,720 people were forcibly returned in the first half of the year, mostly from the Dominican Republic.

The cholera epidemic continues to decline, with 44 suspected cases by July 18, 2026, 48 percent fewer than a year earlier. Diphtheria affects all ten departments, with a global fatality rate of 7.4 percent. The cluster targeted 1.8 million of 4.9 million people in need and assisted 780,927 (43.4 percent) with 19.4 million dollars received of 69.2 million required (28 percent). The bulletin lists the main gaps: insecurity and road conditions, limited mental health capacity, and a shortage of qualified staff for maternity services.
