Haiti, a nation with a history marred by natural disasters, political turmoil, and socioeconomic challenges, is again facing a dire humanitarian crisis. In recent weeks, escalating violence perpetrated by armed gangs has plunged the country into chaos, leaving devastation in its wake.

Since February 29, 2024, over 15,000 Haitians have been displaced in Port-au-Prince alone, and more than 362,000 individuals have been displaced nationwide. The need for urgent humanitarian aid in Haiti has never been greater.

Understanding the Crisis in Haiti

The recent surge in violence stems from a complex web of political instability, social unrest, and economic hardship that has plagued Haiti for years. The assassination of former President Jovenel Moïse in July 2021 exacerbated existing tensions, leading to a power vacuum and subsequent struggles for control. The delayed elections, coupled with allegations of corruption and government ineffectiveness, further fueled public discontent and paved the way for widespread protests and civil unrest.

Following Haiti Prime Minister Ariel Henry’s recent travel to Kenya to sign a deal expected to secure Kenya’s leadership, violence escalated nationwide. Since then, thousands of Haitians have been displaced, with widespread reports of rape, torture, and ransom kidnappings each day. Thousands have been killed.

Against this backdrop, criminal gangs have exploited the chaos to assert their dominance, launching coordinated attacks across the capital city of Port-au-Prince and other regions. These attacks have targeted government buildings, police stations, and even the country’s main airport, disrupting essential services and instilling fear among the Haitian population.
