KEY HUMANITARIAN INDICATORS

Food Security & Nutrition

  • Acute food insecurity: A historic ~5.7 million people face acute food insecurity; ~2.0 million are at IPC4 (Emergency) and ~8,400 at IPC5 (Catastrophe) risk. This is driven by violence, disrupted supply chains, and price shocks. 
  • Operational note: WFP reports record monthly distributions in 2025 but warns shortfalls risk pipeline breaks during hurricane season without urgent funds.


Displacement & Protection

  • IDPs (Internally Displaced People): A record of 1.3 million+ people (~11% of Haiti population) are now internally displaced. Many are living in makeshift sites lacking WASH, health, and protection services; children constitute a large share of the displaced (~53%).
  • Operational note: GBV incidents reported to clusters have risen sharply in 2025. Dozens of schools in the greater Port-au-Prince area remain closed due to being populated by displaced families. 


Health, WASH & Outbreak

  • Facility status: Roughly 40% of inpatient health facilities are closed and another ~33% partially functional. Access to trauma care, maternal/child services, and essential medicines is limited; cold-chain and referrals are disrupted. 
  • Cholera/Outbreaks: Cholera transmission risk persists amid water cuts and displacement, with tens of thousands of cumulative suspected cases since resurgence; routine immunization gaps heighten measles/polio risk.


Education & Livelihoods (indicative)

Status: Protracted school closures and teacher displacement compound learning loss; market closures and insecurity erode household income, pushing negative coping strategies (child recruitment risks, transactional survival).
