In 2024, Haiti faced an unprecedented humanitarian crisis marked by escalating violence, forced displacement, and worsening food insecurity. The number of internally displaced persons surged from 350,000 to 750,000 over the year, as armed clashes and insecurity forced entire communities to flee, particularly in Port-au-Prince, bringing the risk of famine.

The situation was further compounded by a resurgence of cholera and the chronic weakness of health and sanitation systems, leaving millions of Haitians in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.

To address these pressing challenges, Action Against Hunger revised its programme strategy to enhance support for populations affected by violence and displacement. In the Nord-Oust, we delivered critical food assistance and cash support to vulnerable communities. In Nord-Est and Sud, efforts focused on preventing malnutrition through targeted interventions. In response to the cholera outbreak in Artibonite, Action Against Hunger implemented emergency measures to contain the spread of the disease and improve access to safe water and sanitation. Furthermore, we positioned ourselves to expand our humanitarian response in Port-au-Prince in 2025, acknowledging the increasing needs for capital.

In 2024, Action Against Hunger’s interventions reached over 100,000 people in various sectors. This included people benefitting from food assistance, receiving support in food security and livelihood and training in microfinance. Hundreds of individuals were chosen to complete vocational training, enhancing their resilience and economic prospects. Children were treated for moderate acute malnutrition and severe acute malnutrition and over 30,000 people accessed primary healthcare services. In Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, people were reached with sanitation services and products such as cleaning supplies.

Through these programmes, Action Against Hunger remains committed to alleviating suffering and strengthening the resilience of Haitian communities amid a deepening crisis.
