KEY FIGURES8.3K people confined due to ongoing clashes and strikes in Cauca, Colombia3.3M suspected cases of dengue in Latin America and the Caribbean so far in 2025REGIONAL: HURRICANE SEASONHurricane Flossie rapidly intensified after forming in the eastern Pacific on 29 June, reaching Category 3 by 2 July. Although it did not make landfall, outer bands brought heavy rain and rough seas to Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima and Jalisco. Flooding affected Lázaro Cárdenas and dangerous swells forced port closures. Flossie quickly weakened and became a post-tropical cyclone by 4 July. It was the sixth named storm in what NOAA expects to be an above-average eastern Pacific season. In the Atlantic, activity remains limited. Tropical Storms Andrea and Barry were both short-lived. A disturbance off Florida has a 60 per cent chance of development but is forecast to bring mostly heavy rainfall. While early July is typically quieter, warm waters could support rapid intensification later this season.COLOMBIA: CONFINEMENTOngoing clashes between non-state armed groups and strikes have led to the confinement of approximately 8,300 people in two municipalities of Cauca. In Bolívar, clashes have confined around 8,000 Indigenous and Afro-descendant residents, amid reports of threats against community leaders and social organizations. In López de Micay, some 300 Afro-descendant individuals in El Playón del Río Sigüí face restrictions due to an armed strike, increased mobility restrictions, forced identification and the imposition of sanctions on civilians. Persistent violence in this community since 2024 has led to the depopulation of 81 per cent of the collective territory, creating serious risks of collective harm. Eleven schools have suspended classes, affecting 283 children and increasing the threat of forced recruitment.HAITI: VIOLENCE & DISPLACEMENTArmed groups attacked Desvarieux, Chambrun and Sarrazins near Lascahobas in Haiti’s Centre department on 3 July, triggering new displacement and worsening instability in the Bas Plateau region. The violence caused widespread panic and forced residents to flee toward Hinche and Belladère, communes that are already hosting some 37,000 displaced people. Initial reports cite at least eight deaths, several missing persons, and the theft of three vehicles. The attack also disrupted education, leading to the cancellation of the final day of ninth-grade exams. Lascahobas was already sheltering over 7,400 displaced people following earlier violence this year. Humanitarian access remains severely limited. The Departmental Emergency Operations Center, IOM and Civil Protection are coordinating the response and registering newly displaced individuals amid deteriorating protection conditions.REGIONAL: DENGUEAs of epidemiological week 24, the Americas have reported over 3.29 million suspected dengue cases in 2025, including 1.32 million confirmed cases, 4,241 severe cases, and 1,541 deaths. While this is a 70 per cent decrease compared to the same period in 2024, transmission remains high in Brazil and is rising in parts of Mexico and Panama, which saw 21 per cent and 28 per cent increases respectively over the past four weeks. Dengue activity also remains elevated in Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru. In total, 20 countries reported new cases during the week, with 15 dengue-related deaths and 60 severe cases. Although overall trends remain below the five-year average, the persistence of hotspots and co-circulating serotypes continues to pose significant public health challenges.
