27 June 2024 — In Haiti, our humanitarian colleagues tell us that, between 22 and 26 June, WFP distributed more than 59,000 meals to nearly 12,000 displaced people in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area. WFP has also distributed $1 million worth of cash-based transfers to over 43,000 displaced people in the capital who had previously been receiving meals.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has sounded the alarm on the risks women and girls are grappling amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis, with armed groups using sexual violence as a tactic to instil fear and seize control of entire neighbourhoods. UNFPA says that although reports of rape and sexual violence are soaring, they are a vast underrepresentation of the true scale of these horrific crimes.
UNFPA continues to provide medicines and supplies, including for the clinical management of rape survivors, to 12 health facilities in the capital and surrounding region. Mobile clinics are also operating at eight displacement sites to support reproductive health, as are hotlines for survivors of sexual assault and provision of safe spaces.

It is impossible to overstate the increase in gang activity across Port-au-Prince and beyond, the deterioration of the human rights situation and the deepening of the humanitarian crisis.

Haiti: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan
Humanitarian needs
The worsening security situation, the near-collapse of basic services, the impact of years of drought and natural disasters will leave 5.5 million Haitians highly vulnerable in 2024. Humanitarians will target 3.6 million people, 12% more than in 2023, with a funding requirement of 674 million dollars, to:
- 1. Provide a multi-sectoral emergency response to 2.2 million people in areas affected by sudden shocks linked to insecurity, forced population movements, natural disasters and epidemics.
- 2. Implement activities to strengthen the resilience of 3.6 million people, including actions that promote sustainable solutions and emergency preparedness.
As of 19 April 2024, only 8.1% of the total requirements, i.e. US$ 54,4 million have been financed.
