Haiti
Why are we in Haiti? Haiti is currently in the midst of a complex humanitarian crisis that encompasses political instability, displacement, natural disasters, extreme hunger and gang violence, including gender-based violence. As the situation continues to deteriorate, nearly half of the country’s population requires humanitarian assistance.
Haiti’s deepest crisis goes beyond the headlines
The ongoing crisis in Haiti has had several headline moments over the last six years, including the resignation of the prime minister in 2024 and the attacks by armed gangs on strategic institutions such as the airport, prisons or hospitals. The situation has worsened in the last year, with escalations of gang violence, particularly in the capital of Port-au-Prince.
5.5 million Haitians, approximately 45% of the country’s population, will require humanitarian assistance in 2024. Nearly just as many are facing extreme levels of food insecurity. A weakened infrastructure and political instability have left many hospitals and clinics out of service, while diseases like cholera spread at a rapid rate.
