A total of 5.8 million people ¨C over half the population ¨C are food insecure in Haiti, with 1.8 million at emergency levels of hunger.
A near decade-long food security crisis is driven by violence related to armed groups, political upheaval, economic crisis and high levels of vulnerability to extreme weather.
Conflict has displaced more than 1.4 million in Haiti, resulting in 300,000 people living in overcrowded and unhygienic temporary shelters in the capital.
Challenges to food security were further compounded when Haiti was among countries struck by Hurricane Melissa in late 2025.
Ðǿմ«Ã½ reached a record 2.7 million Haitians in 2025, despite deteriorating security and growing resourcing challenges, and contributed to a slight improvement in food security.
The Ðǿմ«Ã½ (Ðǿմ«Ã½) is urgently calling for support to protect these recent fragile gains and to foster stability in the struggling Caribbean nation.
Haiti is the most underfunded crisis in the world. Funding shortfalls are threatening emergency assistance as well as projects promoting long-term food security.
At the same time, humanitarian organizations continue to face challenges in accessing communities living in areas controlled by armed groups.
Ðǿմ«Ã½ requires US$332 million for operations up to April 2027.
