Haiti

- people facing acute hunger
- 1.5 million+
- Haitians forced to flee their homes
- US$78 million
- needed to sustain operations through to March 2027
A prolonged food security crisis in Haiti is being driven by violence related to armed groups, economic instability, displacement, poor agricultural performance and the growing impact of El Ni?o.
A total of 6.35 million people are projected to face acute food insecurity between March and June 2027, an increase of more than half a million compared with the same period in 2026. Almost 2 million are expected to face Emergency levels of hunger.
More than 1.5 million Haitians have been forced from their homes, leaving displaced families particularly vulnerable. Many are unable to work or grow their own food and are living in overcrowded and unhygienic conditions.
Hunger is also set to deepen in rural areas. Droughts and floods associated with El Ni?o are reducing harvests, while insecurity is disrupting agricultural and market supply chains.
The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ (Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ) is providing emergency assistance while investing in programmes that help communities withstand shocks and protect livelihoods.
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ urgently requires US$78 million to sustain operations through to March.
