Haiti had more than 19,000 people in Phase 5 between September 2022 and February 2023 in the commune of Cité Soleil where gang violence has severely compromised supply chains and forced people to stay home. The other countries affected by an extreme lack of food are: Somalia (214,000 people); South Sudan (87,000); Yemen (31,000); Afghanistan (20,300); Nigeria (3,000) and Burkina Faso (1,800). In Haiti, the population is facing high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3) which could increase slightly due to urban insecurity and violence, high inflation as well as the lingering effects of previous natural disasters 4.72 million people or 48% of the population analyzed were or are in phase 3 between September 2022 and February 2023. In the last quarter of 2022, the number of people facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3 or above) was the highest reported in 7 years for Haiti due to insecurity widespread and gang violence in major cities, a macroeconomic crisis characterized by seven years of double-digit inflation, 5 years of recession, impacts of natural hazards including the 2021 earthquake, https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-34479-haiti-flash-magnitude-72-earthquake-in-the-nippes-updated-10am.html and low agricultural production https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-37619-haiti-agriculture-food-security-outlook-in-haiti-until-january-2023.html Nearly half of the population analyzed was in IPC Phase 3 or higher, between September 2022 and February 2023.
