Bruno Maes, UNICEF Representative in Haiti, stated on Thursday that thousands of families with children are at risk of catching diseases as the conditions they are living in are vulnerable. He said the threats of diarrhoeal disease, malaria, cholera and respiratory infections in Haiti are growing.

Maes said no cases of cholera were reported in Haiti since 2019; however, the re-emergence of the disease is highly likely due to the present conditions. He said the efforts of UNICEF are not able to meet the dire needs of the people in Haiti. Due to tensions on the ground, the humanitarian responses were halted .
