Haiti - Social : 137,543 people still live in 243 camps 10/04/2014 13:52:59
Overall trends of the IDP population : More than four years after the devastating January 2010 earthquake, an estimated 37,131 households or 137,543 individuals still reside in 243 IDP sites. This represents a decrease of approximately 91% of the IDP population and an 84% decrease of the number of IDP sites compared to 2010 (height of the internal displacement in Haiti.) During this reporting period, we observed a 6.4% decrease in IDP individuals and 6.2% of IDP households compared to the previous reporting period (December 2013). The decrease in IDP population for this reporting period is slightly lower than the one observed in 2013 at the same period. This can be explained by the fact that at the same period last year there were more organizations doing camp cl osures through the assistance with rental grants. While 30 camps have closed during this period, of 243 open camps, an estimated 78 camps (32.1% of the open camps) have recorded an increase of the IDP household populations. This phenomenon, even though always present albeit in negligible numbers, is lately becoming more visible. When asked, IDPs have reported their inability to pay rent as the main reason for moving into camps (78%), rejoining their family members as a second main reason (9%) and moving fro m another camp being the third main reason (6%). This trend continues to call for an urgent definition of the final list of eligible IDPs and requires a strong commitment from the Government and its partners to consider the list definitive. IDP Population : (Households and Individuals) By the end of this reporting period, a reported 37,131 households or 137,543 individuals still remained in IDP sites. This corresponds to a net decrease of 2,439 IDP households (9,382 individuals) compared to the December DTM release. Overall, the IDP household population decreased by 90% compared to the July 2010 release and by 6.2% compared to the previous report in December 2013. In turn, the IDP individual population has decreased by 91% compared to July 2010 and by 6.4% compared the previous reporting period. The three communes with the highest population are the following: 1. Delmas with the highest population of 14,378 households, corresponding to 53,400 individuals (39% of both IDP households and individuals), 2. Port-au-Prince the second largest with 7,774 households (21% of IDP households), corresponding to 27,123 individuals (20% of IDP individuals) 3. Carrefour the third largest with 3,915 households (11% of IDP households), corresponding to 12,895 individuals (9% of IDP individuals). These three communes account for 71% of the IDP households still displaced as a result of the January 12th 2010 earthquake. The remaining communes, Cité Soleil, Croix-des-Bouquets, Petion-Ville and Tabarre, still host more than 2,000 IDP households each; together they account for 25% of the total of IDP households. In the Palms region, Léogane hosts 3% of the remaining population, corresponding to 1,254 households (or 5,068 persons) while Gressier houses the remaining 1%; 167 households (or 654 persons). IDP sites : As of March 2014, 243 sites remain open in Haiti, housing a population of 37,131 households. This accounts for a decrease of 84% of the number of sites when compared to July 2010 and a 16% decrease when compared to the previous period of December 2013. While Delmas houses the highest IDP population, for this period, Port-au-Prince is the commune with the highest number of IDP sites with 65 sites (representing 27% of open sites), followed by Carrefour with 52 sites (21 % of open sites) and Delmas with 44 sites (18% of open sites). The three communes combined account for 66% of all sites still open. While hosting 21% of open sites for this period, Carrefour houses approximately 11% of the IDP population, explained by the fact that it has a higher number of small sites. In contrast, Delmas with 18% of open sites, houses 39% of the IDP population due to the bigger size of its IDP sites. In the regions, 16 IDP sites still remain open, representing around 7% of the open sites in the country. There are 3 sites still open in Gressier and 13 sites still open in Léogane. Léogane continues to remain the commune with the highest number of sites in the Palm regions. Grand-Goave and Petit-Goave no longer host IDP sites as of the last reporting period. Of the 243 open sites, 152 (or 63%) are small sites comprising of 100 IDP households or less. These sites house 15 % of the IDP households. The 91 remaining are sites with more than 100 IDP households; 6 of these IDP sites hosts 1,000 or more IDP households which accounts for 22% of all IDP households (8,246 households). The majority of the displaced population continues to reside in the larger sites, all located in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince (there are no large sites in the Palm Regions). More specifically, 17 sites or 7% of the total number of open sites, house 42% of the IDP households. Closed Sites : During the reporting period of March 2014, 30 camps have been reported as closed. As for the past period, camp closure has mainly been a result of return programs carried out by various partners between January and March 2014. Return programs contributed to the relocation of 27 sites, corresponding to 1,403 households. The remaining 3 sites (corresponding to 88 households) closed as result of spontaneous returns. The commune of Delmas has recorded the largest decrease in the number sites with 14 sites closed for this period, as a result of return programs. However, the commune of Tabarre accounts for the largest decrease of households for this period, with 592 households (2,202 individuals) relocated by return programs. It is important to note that during this period, no sites were closed as a result of evictions. Of the 1,555 IDP sites and 361,517 households identified after the earthquake of January 2010, 339 sites have closed thanks to return programs (corresponding to 60,883 households relocated to better housings). 178 sites closed due to evictions (corresponding to 16,118 households evicted) and 247,385 households spontaneously decided to leave sites corresponding to the closure of 795 sites.
