** Haiti is grappling with a severe humanitarian crisis as violence and displacement escalate across multiple departments.
📍 ** HAITI
**
Between 18 and 24 April, a series of violent attacks and clashes erupted across the Ouest, Artibonite, and Sud Est departments of Haiti, pushing the country deeper into a humanitarian emergency. Renewed fighting near Cité Soleil and Croix de Bouquets in Ouest displaced nearly 5,000 people, forcing many to seek refuge in overcrowded sites. Similarly, attacks in L’Estère, Artibonite, resulted in the displacement of almost 2,600 individuals, primarily utilizing family support or informal settlements. Alarmingly, for the first time, violence in the traditionally receiving region of Sud-Est triggered the displacement of over 5,600 people from Marigot, indicating a worrying expansion of insecurity beyond established conflict zones.
The situation is particularly dire for vulnerable populations, with children and adolescents facing heightened protection risks alongside limited access to essential services. While aid efforts are underway, the sheer scale of the displacement and the ongoing violence are straining already limited resources and hindering effective response initiatives. The crisis highlights the urgent need for sustained international support to address the root causes of conflict and provide safe, stable conditions for Haitian communities.
