The 2010 Haitian cholera outbreak was an outbreak of cholera which spread across Haiti beginning in October of 2010. By April 2013, it had killed at least 7,000 Haitians and sickened a few hundred thousand more while spreading to the neighboring countries of the Dominican Republic and Cuba. When the outbreak began in October 2010, more than 6% of Haitians resulted in acquiring the disease. While there had been an apparent lull in cases in 2014, by August 2015 the rainy season brought a spike in the number of cases. At that time more than 700,000 Haitians had become ill with the disease and the death toll had climbed to 9,000.
The outbreak began in mid October 2010 in the rural Center department of Haiti, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) north of the capital, Port-au-Prince, killing 4672 people by March 2011 and hospitalising thousands more. The outbreak occurred ten months after a powerful earthquake which devastated the nation's capital and southern towns on 12 January 2010. The disease is widely believed to have been introduced by Nepalese peacekeepers from the UN. By the first 10 weeks of the epidemic, cholera spread to all of Haiti's 10 departments or provinces.
