Resumen
Descripción
In Haiti, alarming levels of armed gang violence continue to trigger significant population displacement within the country and limit the circulation of goods, contributing to increased prices of basic foodstuffs. The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis (September 2024) indicates that Haiti still has one of the highest proportions of acutely food-insecure people worldwide and results are the highest ever recorded in the country – 1 in 2 Haitians is in IPC Phase 3 and above, including 6 000 people in famine-like conditions (IPC Phase 5). The main drivers of food insecurity in the country are increased violence, limited access to food, high inflation and the lingering impact of recurrent climate hazards. To date, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO’s) total requirement for 2024 – under the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan and Urgent call for assistance (May 2024) – remains only 12 percent funded. Reaching the most vulnerable households with emergency assistance is cost‑effective and enables quick, self-sustained food production.
