GIEWS updates: The Republic of Haiti Acute food insecurity surges at unprecedented levels

Global Food and Nutrition Security

Highlights:

  • Food insecurity has been steadily worsening since 2018, with a record 5.7 million people estimated to be facing high levels of food insecurity between March and June 2025 and more than 8 400 individuals in displacement camps facing IPC Phase 5 (Catastrophe) level.
  • Widespread gang violence is severely disrupting livelihoods and deteriorating food security by hindering agricultural production and impeding the transport of goods and access to markets.
  • The decline in national cereal production is expected to continue in 2025, further reducing local food supplies, keeping food prices high and undermining agricultural livelihoods.
