Humanitarian action in Haiti in the last two years has accomplished significant tangible results. From 2010 to 2012, in support of Government priorities, humanitarian actors ensured adequate services to the 1.5 million displaced after the earthquake. Camp population decreased by 77% over the last two years. The number of people newly affected by the cholera epidemic has been considerably reduced and mortality rates lowered to 1.2%. National capacities to prepare for and respond to future emergencies have also been strengthened. Despite these improvements, Haiti is still confronted with a number of critical humanitarian needs which national capacities alone cannot address.
