Description
In 2022, Haiti remained in a long-standing political, security and humanitarian crisis that has left all government branches inoperative, compounding overwhelming impunity for human rights abuses. The lack of access to fuel has harshly impacted businesses, schools, and hospitals and created shortages of basic goods, including water and telecommunications. More than 42 percent of Haiti´s population needs humanitarian assistance and up to 40 percent of the country experiences acute food insecurity, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
