Haiti crisis in numbers
Haiti is experiencing record levels of hunger and displacement as armed gangs expand their control of the country and services collapse. Children are most at risk.
As of 2026:
- 5.7 million people – over half of Haiti’s population – are experiencing acute food insecurity. (IPC, October 2025)
- Over 1 million children are facing emergency levels of hunger. (OCHA, April 2025)
- 1.4 million people are displaced, around half of them children. (IOM UN Migration, September 2025)
- Armed gangs control around 90% of the capital, Port-au-Prince. (Human Rights Watch, 2026)
- Up to half of all gang members are thought to be children, with some as young as nine being forced to join. (AP News, February 2026)
- More than 1,600 schools are closed. (UN News, October 2025)
