Haiti on the Brink as Humanitarian Crisis Deepens

With gangs controlling most of Port-au-Prince and humanitarian aid dwindling, Haiti faces its worst crisis since the 2010 earthquake.

  • Aid groups warn of a complete collapse of humanitarian support in Haiti, with gangs controlling 90% of Port-au-Prince and critical aid services at risk.
  • Haiti's political vacuum worsens the crisis, with politicians fighting over power while the country faces unprecedented violence and starvation.
  • More than five million Haitians are at critical levels of hunger, with food stocks expected to run out by the end of April.
  • The United Nations' $674 million aid package for Haiti is only 7% funded, competing with global crises for resources.
  • Violence has displaced over 362,000 people and killed thousands, with hospitals and medical facilities at risk of shutting down due to fuel shortages.
