Haiti Humanitarian Situation Report No. 10

Highlights

• As of 11 November, the situation in Port-au-Prince has rapidly deteriorated following attacks by armed groups in several neighborhoods – including attempted sieges of established residential areas. These attacks have caused the largest single displacement event since January 2023, with over 40,000 people forced to relocate within two weeks. The international airport remained closed throughout the month, and although UNHAS services experienced a temporary suspension, they have since resumed and remain the sole air-transport option for the humanitarian community to travel in and out of the capital.
• In response to these events, several partners had to suspend mobile clinics due to security constraints. However, UNICEF has played a crucial role in facilitating the resumption of essential WASH, health-nutrition, and child protection services in displacement sites and host communities. 
• During November, UNICEF provided critical support to over 22,400 children, parents, and caregivers with mental health and psychosocial services. Additionally, more than 67,000 people received critical water, sanitation, and hygiene supplies, and over 35,000 children were screened for wasting, with more than 4,400 cases of severe wasting treated. 
• UNICEF urgently calls on all donors to mobilize resources to address the 72 percent funding gap (US$160.4M) in the 2024 humanitarian appeal. Immediate funding is essential to meet the life-saving humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable women and children in Haiti.
