Situation Report on the Crisis in Haiti (January-March 2026)

The Artibonite, Centre departments as well as the Metropolitan zone of Port-au-Prince in Haiti continue to be significantly impacted by gang violence. Houses have been burned and there is an increase in kidnappings and robberies. Some 1.4 million people have been forced to flee their homes and thousands more have died.

Despite the security constraints, UNFPA and its implementing partners continue to provide sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and gender-based violence (GBV) services. In the first quarter of 2026, UNFPA reached 7,470 people with SRH services and 5,580 people with GBV prevention and response activities. A total of 2,792 dignity kits were also distributed to displaced women and adolescent girls, as well as 100 inter-agency reproductive health (IARH) kits provided to health facilities and non-governmental organizations to meet the needs of 5,489 people.

UNFPA is appealing for US$32.8 million to strengthen and expand access to lifesaving SRH and GBV services in Haiti in 2026. As of March 2026, the total amount received was US$1.8 million, representing only 5.5% of the required funding. With needs escalating in Haiti, additional funding is urgently required to ensure critical health and protection services for women and girls.
