Synopsis (short abstract) On 14 August, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit the southern regions of Haiti, in particular the departments of Grand’Anse, Nippes and Sud. Two days later, Tropical Storm Grace’s torrential rains caused floods and landslides in the same departments affected by the earthquake, as well as in Sud-Est. Preliminary reports from the Departmental Directorates of Agriculture and FAO's partners indicate widespread damages to the agricultural sector. FAO’s urgent call for funding aims at providing a response to affected populations, by protecting and restoring the livelihoods of 32 000 rural households (160 000 people) affected by the earthquake and Storm Grace.

Two consecutive waves of devastating flash floods in May–June 2022 have severely disrupted the lives and livelihoods of 7.3 million people from predominantly rural communities in nine northeastern districts in Bangladesh. The climate-induced disaster damaged 65 percent of crops, 44 percent of livestock assets and 60 percent of fisheries, impacting the livelihoods of more than 758 000 farming households, 371 573 livestock and poultry keeping households and 75 000 fishers, among others. The document provides an overview of the impact of the disaster on agriculture and food security as well as FAO's planned response and funding requirements.

Haiti: Response Overview, August 2024 2024

In Haiti, the rise in armed gang violence, especially in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince, has led to significant population displacement within the country. Moreover, according to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis (March 2024), half of the population in Haiti is in high acute food insecurity. The main drivers of food insecurity in the country include increased violence, poor agricultural production due to below-average rainfall, inflation and the lingering impact of recurrent climate hazards. In response, FAO requires a total funding of USD 52.6 million to assist 608 000 people. For the remaining months of 2024, FAO will focus on implementing its emergency activities in some of the areas most affected by the crisis, namely the Grand’Anse, Artibonite and Nippes departments, and the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince.

Emergency response
Haiti: Response overview, November 2024 2024

In Haiti, alarming levels of armed gang violence continue to trigger significant population displacement within the country and limit the circulation of goods, contributing to increased prices of basic foodstuffs. The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis (September 2024) indicates that Haiti still has one of the highest proportions of acutely food-insecure people worldwide and results are the highest ever recorded in the country – 1 in 2 Haitians is in IPC Phase 3 and above, including 6 000 people in famine-like conditions (IPC Phase 5). The main drivers of food insecurity in the country are increased violence, limited access to food, high inflation and the lingering impact of recurrent climate hazards. To date, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO’s) total requirement for 2024 – under the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan and Urgent call for assistance (May 2024) – remains only 12 percent funded. Reaching the most vulnerable households with emergency assistance is cost‑effective and enables quick, self-sustained food production.
