Haiti - Complex Emergency
Description
Political instability, widespread insecurity, and limited access to essential services due to organized criminal group (OCG) activity, and exposure to natural hazards—including tropical cyclones and earthquakes—continue to drive widespread humanitarian needs in Haiti. Approximately 4.9 million people—nearly half of the country’s total population—likely requires emergency food assistance through June. Increasing prices for basic food items—driven in part by OCG activity, recurrent drought, and rising inflation—continue to diminish household purchasing power, hinder people’s ability to afford enough nutritious food, and exacerbate needs.
