This report provides an interim account of the response to the 12 January earthquake in Haiti and to document the key lessons being learned. The report concentrates primarily on the activities of member organisations of the IASC. In addition to the response by the Government and Haitian population itself, thousands of organisations have been involved in the humanitarian response.
The humanitarian community's response to the crisis following the earthquake prevented further loss of life, reduced the vulnerability of the people directly affected, and contributed to restoring dignity to the disaster-affected population. As the initial emergency phase of the humanitarian operation moved towards longer-term planning and recovery, 6 months after the earthquake was the moment to evaluate what the humanitarian operation achieved, what remains to be done, and what can be learned from the operation to date. This report aims to be analytical and to present a realistic and frank picture of the humanitarian response to date and challenges faced.
