The humanitarian situation in Haiti stems from ongoing challenges and recurring crises
fueled by prolonged political turmoil, disease outbreaks, natural disasters and escalating
armed violence, which have led to chronic and acute humanitarian needs, including
hunger, malnutrition, and gender-based violence which have reached unprecedented
levels. Three million children need humanitarian and protection assistance, and many more
may fall in need if unattended or if new shocks hit the country.
