 Monday, February 8, 2010. Shelter assistance remains an urgent priority in Haiti. Four sites have been identified as official planned settlements for more than 5,000 people but more suitable sites are needed. An additional 56 assessed sites could, pending available resources and Government approval, host at least 65,000 people, according to IOM. Sanitation is becoming a major concern at many of the temporary sites.

Massive humanitarian health needs exist in Haiti following the 12 January, 2010, earthquake, and clear WHO guidelines are in place for the donations of medicines and other medical supplies to support the relief effort. WHO recommends that potential donors follow these guidelines to ensure appropriate supplies are being provided to match needs on the ground.
PAHO/WHO has created a continuously updated database of over 900 health
facilities in Haiti, including geographic locations and unique
identification codes based on those generated by the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) of Haiti. Corrections and new
additions to the dataset are welcome and can be submitted through the link.
