The disease claimed nearly 10,000 lives during its 2010 outbreak, which was blamed on a United Nations peacekeeping force.
In 2020, the Pan American Health Organization said that Haiti had no confirmed cases of cholera that year.
Since last month, gangs have closed the country’s main fuel port in protest against the announcement of an increase in fuel prices, and many hospitals have closed their doors or reduced their operations due to the lack of fuel.
Cholera causes uncontrollable diarrhea.
The disease is usually spread by water contaminated with the faeces of a sick person, which means that clean drinking water is necessary to prevent its spread.
