Overview
- The UN’s 2025 Haiti appeal has drawn only 9.2% of its roughly $900 million goal, making it the lowest-funded emergency plan worldwide.
- Armed gangs have killed over 3,100 people this year and displaced about 1.3 million Haitians, driving more than half the population into food insecurity.
- A Kenya-led, UN-backed security force remains only partially deployed and has achieved minimal gains in reclaiming territory from gangs.
- NGOs report cutting back services as road blockades and violence hamper the delivery of food, medicine and other vital aid.
- UN officials are calling for measures to halt arms shipments—largely traced to Florida—and impose sanctions on financial networks supporting the gangs.
