Garnel Michel Coordinator of the Haitian Organization Technical and Operational Services to Stop Accident (STOP-Accidents), informs us that from 12 to 18 August 2019, 49 accidents (+ 22% compared to the previous week) on the roads of Haiti, have made at least 203 victims (+ 15.3%): 16 dead (mostly young people and children) and 187 injured, several seriously.
Garnel Michel said that most of these accidents occurred among others at : Delmas 30, Savane Désolé, Ti Koulin (Caracol), Obert (Port-de-Paix), Delmas 32, Rampe Soldat (Bas Plateau), Kenscoff, Morne Canapé-vert, Christ-Roi, Sable (road of Jacmel), Titanyen, Grand-Goâve, Route de Bourdon, Plaine du Nord, Petit-Goâve, Carrefour Brouette (Sud), Pèlerin, Léogane, Petite Rivière de l'Artibonite, etc.
Remember that this weekly report was made in partnership with the National Ambulance Center (CAN) and the Haitian Red Cross. However, due to a lack of resources, the STOP-Accident organization is unable to monitor the state of health of the wounded, some of whom die as a result of their injuries and are not counted.
