On 17 November, a health worker feeds bottled water to a child being treated for cholera, in a health centre in the impoverished Wharf Jérémie neighbourhood of Port-au-Prince, the capital. By 17 November 2010 in Haiti, the cholera outbreak that began in Artibonite Department had spread to 7 of the countrys 10 departments, infecting 16,799 people and killing 1,039. In Port-au-Prince, the capital, more than 600 cases and 27 deaths have been reported. Cholera is a deadly bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water. The health crisis has also provoked civil unrest in the northern town of Cap Haitien, slowing cholera treatment responses there, and is anticipated to spread elsewhere. Port-au-Prince is particularly vulnerable to the disease, with some 1.3 million people displaced by the 12 January earthquake living in dense camps. More live in impoverished communities such as Cité Soleil and all lack adequate safe water and sanitation facilities. Even before the quake, Haitis access to sanitation was among the worst in the world. Recovery operations made significant progress in providing safe water and sanitation to quake survivors but communicable diseases have remained a threat. UNICEF is working with the Government and other partners to establish cholera treatment centres throughout the country and disseminate public information on cholera prevention. Haitis sanitation agency, DINEPA (Direction Nationale de l'Eau Potable et de l'Assainissement), is also distributing chlorine tablets and safe water, and testing water sources for contamination. UNICEF has mobilized all critical staff to respond to the crisis and joined other United Nations agencies and partners in a new 12 November appeal for US $163 million of which UNICEFs portion is US $25.2 million. UNICEF and partners are providing medical teams, distributing water purification supplies, antibiotics, oral rehydration salts (ORS) and therapeutic foods, and accelerating other cholera prevention and treatment efforts throughout the country.
