Escalating insecurity, gang violence, and deepening political instability particularly in the Haitian capital have forced thousands of families to flee their homes in search of safer living conditions. According to recent data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), more than one million Haitians are currently internally displaced a figure that has tripled since 2023. Growing insecurity, particularly in the capital, is forcing families to flee repeatedly, often at the cost of deplorable living conditions, with no access to drinking water, healthcare or decent shelter.
