Deskripsyon Konple
FEWS NET fè konnen ensekirite alimantè grav ap rete gaye jiska fen soudi fevriye-jen, ak yon Kriz (Faz 3 IPC) nan pifò peyi a ak yon Ijans (Faz 4 IPC) konsantre nan zòn metwopoliten Pòtoprens, patikilyèman pami deplase ak menaj pòv vyolans frape, ki fè fas ak gwo defisi konsomasyon ak estrateji adaptasyon ki wonje mwayen lavi grav (mande charite, travay prekè oswa a wo risk ki gen ladan aktivite ilisit, koupi ekstrèm nan depans ki pa manje, dèt ki pa soutnab). Ensekirite pèsistan kontinye pwovoke deplasman mas: dènye atak nan Boukankare (Plato Santral) deplase anviwon 4 500 moun, sa ki pote total deplase yo plis pase 1,45 milyon, epi lòt atak siyale nan Latibonit 28-29 mas (Jean-Denis, atribiye ak gang 'Grand Grif').
Kontwòl wout gang yo limite flo komèsyal, redwi opòtinite revni epi kenbe yon gwo depandans sou mache, sitou nan ZMPP, Latibonit ak Sant. Ogmantasyon pri mondyal gazolin ki lye ak tansyon nan Mwayen Oryan ta dwe lakoz gwo enflasyon: konsidere gwo depandans Ayiti sou enpòtasyon manje, gazolin ak entran agrikòl (angre), ogmantasyon pri petwòl mondyal ta dwe reflete sou depans transpò ak distribisyon nan peyi a ak yon ogmantasyon jeneralize pri manje, ak depans entran (sitou ire) k ap frape ti agrikiltè ak pwodiksyon prentan ; kapasite gouvènman an pou amòti chòk la via sibvansyon sanble limite, sa ki pwobableman transfere yon gwo pati depans lan bay konsomatè yo.
Kanpay prentan an kòmanse ak premye lapli men nan kondisyon defavorab - aksè entran limite akoz pri wo ak ensekirite, ak aksè restrenn ak tè ak men-dèv nan Latibonit, Sant ak Lwès - konsa agrikiltè yo ka redwi sifas kiltive, sa ki febli pèspektiv rekòt.

Escalating conflict worsening acute food insecurity in Haiti
Key Messages
Haiti - Key Message Update March - September 2026
Acute food insecurity will remain widespread in Haiti through the
end of the lean season (February-June), with Crisis (IPC Phase 3)
outcomes across most of the country and Emergency (IPC
Phase 4) outcomes concentrated in the Port-au-Prince
Metropolitan Area (ZMPP), particularly among internally
displaced persons (IDPs) and poor households affected by
violence. These households face significant consumption deficits
and are resorting to negative coping strategies that severely
erode livelihoods, including begging, increased reliance on
precarious or high-risk activities (including illicit activities),
extreme reductions in essential non-food expenditures, and the
accumulation of unsustainable debt.
Persistent insecurity continues to drive large-scale
displacement and disrupt livelihoods. Recent attacks
in Boucan-Carré (Plateau Central) displaced around 4,500
people, bringing the total number of IDPs to over 1.45 million.
Additional attacks were reported in Artibonite on March 28 and
29, particularly in Jean-Denis, where individuals were reportedly
killed by members of the “Grand Grif” gang controlling the area.
Control of roadways by armed groups limits trade flows,
reduces income-earning opportunities, and sustains high
dependence on markets, especially in the ZMPP, Artibonite,
and Centre.
Rising global fuel prices, linked to tensions in the Middle East,
are expected to drive high inflation. Given Haiti’s strong
dependence on imports of food, fuel, and agricultural inputs
(fertilizers), any increase in global oil prices is likely to translate
into higher domestic transport and distribution costs, leading to
a generalized increase in food prices. Rising costs of agricultural
inputs, particularly urea, are expected to negatively affect
smallholder farmers and spring agricultural production. The
government’s capacity to cushion this shock through subsidies
appears limited; it is likely that only partial mitigation measures
will be implemented, transferring a significant share of costs to
consumers. As a result, purchasing power for poor households,
displaced populations, and urban populations dependent on
markets will be further weakened.
The spring agricultural season is beginning with the first rains, but in an unfavorable economic and
security context. Access to inputs remains limited due to high prices, logistical constraints linked to insecurity,
and low levels of support to the sector. In some areas (Artibonite, Centre, Ouest), insecurity also restricts access
to land and labor, limiting income-earning opportunities for farming households. Faced with these constraints,

farmers may reduce cultivated areas, which would negatively affect harvest prospects and maintain pressure on
food availability and access.

FEWS NET classification is IPC-compatible with limited exceptions. IPC-compatible analysis follows key IPC protocols but does not necessarily reflect the consensus of national food security
partners. As of IPC 3.0, the IPC no longer assesses the impact of food assistance on classification and thus no longer maps the (!). However, FEWS NET continues to produce food security
maps inclusive of the (!) as well as maps compatible with IPC 3.0/3.1, which include the mapping of food security assistance bags. In rare cases, FEWS NET classification is IPC-aligned but
not IPC-compatible. IPC-aligned analysis is evidence-based but some types of evidence required for IPC-compatibility were not available.
