Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHaiti: Response overview
October 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.In Haiti, sociopolitical unrest, economic decline, violence perpetrated by armed groups, low agricultural production, rising food and fuel prices, and frequent natural disasters have led to increased levels of food insecurity. The new estimates indicate that about 5 in 10 households are currently facing acute hunger and for the first time in the country, the municipality of Cité Soleil registered 5 percent of the population in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5). Food security has also continued to deteriorate in rural areas, with several departments falling into Emergency (IPC Phase 4). This is mainly due to harvest losses following below-average rainfall as well as the 2021 earthquake that devastated parts of the Grand´Anse, Nippes and Sud. As a result, households face limited availability of and access to food, and are forced to adopt negative coping mechanisms to meet basic needs. The recent cholera outbreak is also likely to further increase the number of people food insecure. Due to the severity of the situation, urgent actions are required to support about half of the population. Providing the poorest and most food‑insecure households with livelihoods assistance is crucial to sustainably improve their food security and increase their self-reliance. -
BookletHaiti: Response Overview, August 2024 2024

No results found.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. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetPalestine: Humanitarian Response Plan 2023 2023
Also available in:
No results found.In 2023, more than a quarter of the population is estimated to be food insecure in Palestine. For decades, a protracted and complex humanitarian crisis has impacted the ability of farmers, fishers and herders to access the inputs they need to produce enough food and earn an income. Emergency livelihoods assistance is essential and provides high returns. For example, every USD 1 invested in establishing a rainwater harvesting cistern in the West Bank yields USD 38 in savings in water tanking costs.
