Submitted pursuant to ECOSOC resolution 2025/22, this report of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti covers April 2025 to March 2026, based on meetings with national authorities, civil society, BINUH, the UN country team, regional organizations, and international financial institutions. Now composed of 29 member states, the Group documents the continued severity of Haiti's crisis, including 5,519 people killed and thousands injured, 5.7 million people facing acute food insecurity, 1.9 million of them at emergency levels, and around 4.9 million people needing emergency assistance, with over a million children affected.
