The latest IPC analysis released late September 2024 reports a dramatic increase in food insecurity, with an estimated 5.4 million people facing acute food insecurity (IPC3+), including 2 million people in emergency (IPC4) - a 43% increase compared to August 2023 - and 6,000 IDPs in IPC5 (famine).
The humanitarian food response remains critically underfunded, with only 1.2 million food insecure people benefitting from emergency food assistance to date. Humanitarian food and nutrition actors require an additional USD 280 million to meet the lifesaving needs of the most vulnerable food insecure households.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) reports the highest level of violence since 2023 in Haiti, with 3,661 people killed from January to August 2024. This violence continues to prompt forced displacement: 702,973 Internally Displaced People (IDPs) registered in September 2024 - a 22% increase compared to June 2024. 75% of IDPs seek refuge in rural areas while 25% are hosted in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince (MAPAP).
