Description
March 2017 – Haiti remains affected by a convergence of humanitarian crises further aggravated by a category 4 hurricane, which struck the country in October 2016. Hurricane Matthew resulted in the largest humanitarian crisis in Haiti since the 2010 earthquake, adding to the pre-existing humanitarian needs throughout the country, notably those caused by the ongoing cholera epidemic and recent droughts related to the El Niño phenomenon. An estimated 2.7 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in 2017. This includes 1.4 million people in hurricane-affected areas, which remain in need of food, water and sanitation, shelter and livelihood.
