Overview
- U.N. coordinator Ulrika Richardson said Haiti’s $900 million 2025 appeal is the least-funded plan globally, securing only 9.2 percent and prompting reductions in key services
- Violent gangs have killed over 3,100 people this year, driven more than half the population into hunger and displaced roughly 1.3 million residents
- The Kenya-led Multinational Security Support Mission remains under-resourced and partially deployed, limiting its ability to help Haitian police reclaim territory
- Aid organizations report cutting back programs due to blocked transport routes, staff safety risks and the dwindling flow of donor support
- U.N. officials are urging tighter controls on arms trafficking—much traced to Florida shipments—and sanctions on networks funding gang operations
