Year of publication2024
PublisherFAO
AbstractFood insecurity in Haiti has been worsening since 2018 due to economic setbacks and below‑average agricultural production, exacerbated by escalating violence. Heightened violence has disrupted food supply, hindered access to essential services, increased internal displacements of people and affected delivery of humanitarian assistance. The number of people facing high levels of acute food insecurity is projected to reach a record level of 5 million, half of the population analysed, between March and June 2024.
