Over Half Of Haiti Population Faces Acute Food Insecurity

UNITED NATIONS – The United Nations World Food Programme is calling for urgent international support as an updated assessment found that 5.8 million people in Haiti– more than half of the population–are currently experiencing crisis levels of food insecurity or worse.

Of those, more than 1.8 million people are facing emergency levels of hunger for the March to June 2026 period, meaning they are depleting their remaining assets and are unable to meet basic food needs.

Despite the challenging operating environment, the WFP said it assisted 2.7 million people in Haiti in 2025 through various initiatives.
