Haiti - Social : Food security in Haiti continues to deteriorate (March - June 2025) 15/04/2025 10:24:08
The upsurge in violence in the metropolitan area, the West, and the Artibonite department continues to intensify population displacement, particularly in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area. According to figures from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), approximately 1.04 million people were internally displaced in the country as of December 2024, a 48% increase compared to June 2024. In addition to forcing households to relocate en masse, violence continues to cause the loss of income opportunities in both the informal and formal sectors, while disrupting supply chains. These shocks are compounded by structural factors such as low agricultural production linked to poorly modernized systems, which only cover a limited portion of the country's food needs. Households' economic access to food has been further limited by rising commodity prices and a year-on-year inflation rate of 30% in February 2025, amid declining household incomes both in the metropolitan area and the rest of the country. Additionally, a large number of emergency food assistance and resilience support projects under the Trump administration were suspended during the first quarter of 2025. Since March 2025, funding has no longer been guaranteed. This update shows an increase of more than 300,000 people in IPC Phase 3 compared to the current period (August 2024 to February 2025), and a deterioration of more than 100,000 people compared to the previous projection. This includes an increase in the IPC Phase 5 (Catastrophe) population in displacement camps, from 5,600 to 8,400 people. The increase in Phase 4 and Phase 5 populations is a clear indication of the urgent need for an immediate and life-saving response. Humanitarian assistance remains essential, and recovery efforts are urgently needed to reverse the decline in food and nutrition security, particularly in IDP camps and the Artibonite region. Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) : Phase 3 Crisis Households : • have food consumption deficits reflected by acute malnutrition at or above usual levels; or • are marginally able to meet their basic food needs, but only by disposing of their main livelihood assets or by employing crisis coping strategies. Phase 4 Emergency: Households : • have significant food consumption deficits reflected by very high acute malnutrition and excessive mortality, or • are able to reduce the extent of food deficits, but only by employing emergency coping strategies and liquidating their assets. IPC Phase 5 : Households : • are severely short of food and/or other basic needs despite maximum use of coping strategies. Critical levels of starvation, death, destitution, and acute malnutrition are evident. (To be classified as Famine, an area must have extremely critical levels of acute malnutrition and mortality.)
