Haiti - Daily MOH cholera reports - Official total 8,531 fatalities; 610 in 2013
Thank you RoRo and Dutchy for starting and maintaining this thread.
The UN spokesperson said last week he thought there were at least 2,000 deaths at that point in time and that it was hard to quantify with certainty the number of deaths in the countryside:
24/11/2010
"Mr. Nigel Fisher, the coordinator of UN humanitarian action in Haiti, citing figures in circulation, said the reality was rather be close to 2000 dead and 60 to 70 000 cases, due to difficulties faced in obtaining accurate statistics on the impact of the epidemic in remote and isolated areas of the country. He stressed how important it is to conduct an accelerated implementation of programs of access to water and sanitation. "Beyond financial resources, we need more doctors and more nurses," he said, recalling that the epidemic continues to spread over the months or even years to come ."
Most newssources and PAHO use these numbers, even if they probably are a vague reflection of reality. This thread can bring this shaky source of news to the attention of those who are interested. At best we may discover some trends?
I suppose you may multiply the daily numbers with 2, or 3, or 4.
For me this thread is not about numbers, it is a small reminder of what is happening now in Ha?ti. The real misery can't be grasped in numbers.

Haiti - Cholera Epidemic : Latest assessment, 1 case every 56 seconds
03/12/2010 11:31:49
We will post as of today, the assessment of the situation on the cholera epidemic in Haiti, every 5 days, in a new formule to facilitate reading and to monitor progress more easily . Note that all these assessment come from the official reports of the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP).
The major humanitarian organizations (MSF, MDM, ICRC etc...) and the world health organization (WHO, PAHO, OCHA, etc...) recognize that the assessments are largely undervalued and not reflect reality. However, it seems difficult, according to many experts, to have an accurate reading of the situation, given the difficulties of access to many areas in Haiti and the lack of human resources.
