HAITI – MOBILITY TRACKING
Displacement situation in Haiti – September 2025
Data collection:
1 August – 20 September 2025
Publication: October 2025
KEY RESULTS
1. This new exercise (Round 11) of the Displacement Tracking Matrix indicates a presence of 1,412,199 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Haiti, a 10
per cent increase compared to the previous exercise (Round 10 – June 2025). The main reasons for this increase are the continued deterioration of the
security situation in the Artibonite and Centre departments. IDPs in Haiti now represent 12 per cent of the Haitian population1.
2. The Centre and Artibonite departments have experienced the largest increases in the number of IDPs hosted there. The number of IDPs in the Centre
department increased from 147,230 in Round 10 to 199,258 (+35%), following preventive displacements driven by attacks in localities bordering the
municipalities of Mirebalais and Lascahobas in July 2025. In the Artibonite region, the number of IDPs increased from 92,304 to 121,896 (+32%), following
several armed attacks in this department between July and September 2025, particularly in the municipalities of La Chapelle, Dessalines, Verrettes, and Petite
Rivière.
3. The trend toward a greater increase in the number of IDPs in provinces than in the capital continued to be observed during this round. The majority of
IDPs are hosted in provinces,1 with 79 per cent hosted in provinces compared to 21 per cent in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince (MAPAP). This
proportion has increased slightly compared to Round 10 (77% of IDPs were hosted in provinces). Unlike in previous years, in 2025, the majority of armed
attacks resulting in mass displacements took place in the provinces: of all displacements observed so far in 2025 by the DTM's emergency tracking tool, only
31 per cent were due to attacks in the capital, compared to 69 per cent in provinces, particularly in the Centre (38% of mass displacements observed in
2025) and Artibonite (26%)3. In 2024, 76 per cent of the total mass displacement observed was due to attacks in the capital, compared to 24 per cent in
provinces. In 2023, these proportions were 68 per cent in the capital compared to 32 in provinces. This demonstrates a growing deterioration of the
security situation beyond the capital in 2025, mainly in the Artibonite and Centre departments.
4. The number of sites decreased slightly, from 246 to 238 sites, and the number of IDPs hosted in sites also decreased, from 215,146 to 211,841 (-2%).
This decrease is mainly due to relocation programs implemented in certain sites in the capital by government institutions to enable IDPs to leave these sites.
Although the number of sites in provinces remains higher than in the capital (141 vs 97), the number of IDPs residing in sites remains higher in the capital
than in provinces, as sites in the capital are more densely populated. On average, a site in the capital hosts 1,992 people compared to 132 in provinces.
5. The majority of IDPs are still hosted outside sites/in host families (85% vs 15% in sites), putting ever-increasing pressure on the already limited resources
of host communities. The capital remains the only area where the majority of IDPs are in sites (66% vs 34% outside sites), while 98 per cent of IDPs hosted
in provinces are outside sites, and 2 per cent are in sites.
6. The main needs reported by key informants in locations hosting IDPs remain the same as in Round 10, in order of priority: food, access to livelihoods,
water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), shelter, and health.

The term "province" refers to all areas of the country outside the MAPAP, the country's capital. The MAPAP consists of the municipalities of Port-au-Prince, Delmas, Cité Soleil, Pétion-Ville, Carrefour, Tabarre,
and Croix-des-Bouquets

More than half of IDPs (54%) are women (adults and minors), and 53% are children. It
is worth noting a significant difference in the demographic structure of IDPs depending
on their host locations. Within sites, the majority of IDPs are adults (66% vs 34% of
children), while outside sites, children constitute the majority (55% vs 45% of adults).
Indeed, given the dire living conditions in sites, many IDPs often separate from their
children, preferring to send them to relatives, particularly from the capital to provinces.

The municipality of Port-au-Prince continues to be the leading host municipality for IDPs
in the country, hosting 12 per cent of IDPs. These are exclusively IDPs who were
displaced between different neighbourhoods within the same municipality.
The municipality of Belladère, in the Centre department, has seen a significant increase in
the number of IDPs being hosted there (+302% compared to Round 10), making it the
second largest host municipality for IDPs in the country. This is due to displacement
caused by fear generated by attacks in certain localities in the neighbouring municipality of
Lascahobas.

Between Rounds 10 and 11, the number of IDPs increased by 10 per cent, from 1,287,593 to 1,412,199. This increase is primarily due to the
deterioration of the security situation in the Artibonite and Central departments, where the increases were most significant.
The number of IDPs in the Central department increased from 147,230 in Round 10 to 199,258 (+35%) following preventive displacements caused by
attacks in communities bordering Mirebalais and Lascahobas. In the Artibonite department, the number of IDPs increased from 92,304 to 121,896
(+32%) following several armed attacks in this department, particularly in the municipalities of La Chapelle, Dessalines, Verrettes, and Petite Rivière.
The trend toward a greater increase in the number of IDPs in provinces than in the capital continued to be observed during this round. While the
number of IDPs in the MAPAP decreased slightly (-1%), it continued to increase in provinces. Unlike in previous years, in 2025, the majority of armed
attacks resulting in mass displacement took place in provinces: of all displacements observed by the DTM’s Emergency Tracking Tool so far in 2025,
only 31 per cent were due to attacks in the capital compared to 69 per cent in provinces, particularly in the Centre (38% of mass displacements
observed in 2025) and Artibonite (26%) (see the emergency tracking dataset).
In 2024, 76 per cent of the total mass displacements observed were due to attacks in the capital compared to 24 per cent in the provinces. In 2023,
68 per cent of mass displacements were caused by attacks in the capital, compared to 32 per cent in the provinces. This demonstrates a growing
deterioration in the security situation beyond the capital in 2025, mainly in the Artibonite and Centre departments.

particularly the country's capital, the MAPAP, which alone represents the
provenance of 54 per cent of IDPs.
Apart from the MAPAP, armed attacks in the Centre and Artibonite departments
make these two departments the other areas of origin of IDPs in the country.

IDPs from the West Department (largely made up of the capital) are hosted in all 10 departments of the country (see Figure 17). This is particularly true for IDPs who fled
neighbourhoods in the municipality of Port-au-Prince, who are present in all departments except the Centre (Figure 18). Moreover, the West Department almost exclusively hosts
IDPs from the same department: 98 per cent of IDPs in the West Department fled areas within the same department. In the country's capital, the MAPAP, almost all IDPs came
from the same area: indeed, 98 per cent of IDPs in the MAPAP came from other neighbourhoods within the MAPAP.
IDPs from areas within the Centre Department took refuge primarily within the same department and then to the North, and to a lesser extent to the Northeast, Northwest, and
West (Figure 17). Furthermore, unlike in previous years, the majority of IDPs in the provinces no longer come from the MAPAP but from other areas of the provinces: 42 per cent
of IDPs who are from the provinces came from the capital (compared to 45% in round 10 and 56% in round 9) compared to 58 per cent from other areas in the provinces,
notably from Gressier, Mirebalais and Petite Rivière of Artibonite (Figure 16). This demonstrates once again an intensification of armed violence outside the capital, spreading
increasingly towards provinces and generating significant population displacements there.

It is important to note that the periods of displacement are those of individuals who
are still displaced today, and do not consider individuals who were displaced but have
since returned home. As such, it does not present the overall evolution or the
cumulative number of displacements for a given year but rather reflects the periods
marking the beginning of displacement for currently displaced individuals.
Armed violence is the reason for displacement for almost all IDPs in
Haiti, with 97 per cent of displacements reported due to attacks and 2
per cent due to fear of them.
The year 2024 is the period of displacement for almost half (43%) of the persons
currently displaced, followed by 2025 (41%): 84 per cent of IDPs were displaced
during these two years.

Food needs were most frequently mentioned in IDP-hosting locations (79% of
locations).
Access to livelihoods (63%), water, hygiene, and sanitation (WASH) (36%),
shelter (36%), and healthcare (35%) were the most frequently mentioned after
food.
Furthermore, there are some differences in priority needs between IDPs living
outside sites and those in sites. For example, health needs were more frequently
mentioned outside sites than in sites (39% vs. 20%) (see figures 22 and 23).

Figure 27. Top 10 neighbourhoods hosting IDPs in the MAPAP
Of all IDPs in the capital, 66 per cent are hosted in spontaneous sites, making the MAPAP the only
area in the country where the majority of IDPs are hosted in sites.
More than half of the IDPs in the capital (56%) are still hosted in the municipality of Port-au-Prince,
largely in spontaneous sites: of the 97 sites in the capital, 54 are located in this municipality. The
municipality of Delmas remains in second place, hosting 26 per cent of IDPs in the capital.
Furthermore, it should be noted that 40 per cent of IDPs in the MAPAP are hosted in just 10
neighborhoods (out of the 429 in the MAPAP). This demonstrates a high density of IDPs in the few
areas of the capital that still provide a relative sense of security.

Figure 28. Spontaneous sites in the MAPAP
On average, a site in the MAPAP hosts 1,992 IDPs (compared to 2,000 in
Round 10). The average number of IDPs per site thus decreased slightly,
even though the number of sites remained the same (97 sites). A
relocation program implemented by government institutions allowed the
closure of some large spontaneous sites, which explains the slight
decrease in IDPs in sites. The number of sites remained the same due to
the creation of new sites in certain neighbourhoods of the capital.
Furthermore, the distribution of IDPs accommodated outside and inside
sites has not changed compared to Round 10 (66% of IDPs are in the
sites versus 34% living outside). This distribution has not changed
drastically since 2024 (see Figure 29).

Of the IDPs hosted in sites in the capital, 37 per cent are accommodated in
schools, with nearly 72,000 people in 32 schools. The number of schools
hosting IDPs has decreased slightly compared to Round 10, from 35 to 32
schools. The number of IDPs hosted there has also decreased by 10 per
cent, from 79,103 to 71,970 people. This is explained by the fact that the
relocation program implemented by government institutions primarily targets
IDPs hosted in schools.

Around 100,000 people are internally displaced in areas outside the MAPAP in the West
Department, a 14 per cent decrease compared to Round 10. This decrease is due to the
return of a majority of IDPs who were displaced in the municipality of Cabaret, as well as
the departure of a significant number of IDPs who were in Petit-Goâve to other parts of
the country.
Gressier represents the origin of nearly half of the IDPs in these areas outside the
MAMAP in the West, a municipality almost emptied of its population.

The number of IDPs in the four departments of the Great South (South, South-East,
Grande’Anse, and Nippes) increased by 11 per cent compared to Round 10, due to continued
arrivals from the capital. However, this is the smallest increase observed in the Great South in
over a year. Indeed, the main municipalities of origin of IDPs hosted in the Great South are
located in the capital (67% of IDPs in the Great South came from the capital; see Figure 36).
Unlike in 2023 and 2024, in 2025, these areas did not experience intensive attacks, thus reducing
the number of displacements from the capital. During this year, armed attacks occurred more in
the Centre and Artibonite departments, pushing people to move within these departments and
towards the Great North in general.

The Centre continues to see the number of IDPs hosted there increase. Armed attacks that
occurred in July 2025 in localities bordering the municipalities of Mirebalais and Lascahobas created
a climate of fear among the population of this area and led to preventive displacements to the
municipality of Belladère, which has become the first municipality hosting IDPs in the Centre
department and the second nationally. Furthermore, this commune is the main entry point for
people deported from the Dominican Republic (96% of people deported so far in 2025 were
deported through the Belladère entry point) (see IOM deportation flow monitoring). Basic services
and resources of host communities in this municipality are therefore under significant pressure.

After the MAPAP, the Centre continues to be the area with the largest number of spontaneous sites. However, the difference is that sites in the Centre are
sparsely populated compared to those in the MAPAP. A total of 10,511 IDPs are hosted in the 87 spontaneous sites in the Centre, which represents 5 per cent of
the total IDPs in the department. On average, a site in Centre accommodates 121 people.
Schools are the most commonly used places for IDPs in sites, accommodating 67 per cent of IDPs in sites in the Centre, or 7,031 people.

The number of IDPs in Artibonite increased by 32 per cent due to further intensified attacks
between July and September 2025, particularly in the municipalities of La Chapelle, Dessalines,
Verrettes, and Petite Rivière. Artibonite and Centre are the only departments in the country where
the majority of IDPs do not come from the West: in Artibonite, 86 per cent of IDPs fled areas
within the same department, a significant increase compared to Round 10, when this proportion
was 61 per cent. La Chapelle, for example, has become a major provenance of IDPs, whereas it
was not during Round 10..

The number of IDPs in the three departments of the Great North (North, Northeast and
Northwest) increased by 5 per cent between Rounds 10 and 11, following the arrival of
displaced persons fleeing recent attacks in the Centre and Artibonite regions. However,
these arrivals were lower than in Round 10 (an increase of 63 per cent was observed)
because displacements that occurred in recent weeks in Artibonite and Centre regions
have mainly taken place between different municipalities in these departments.

More than 92,000 IDPs have returned to their places of origin, a 14 per cent increase compared to Round 10. This is explained by some returns observed in some areas
that had recently suffered armed attacks but experienced a relative lull thereafter. This was the case, for example, in the municipality of Dessalines in Artibonite, which
suffered attacks in July 2025 and where populations began to return after a relative lull. The same situation has begun to be observed in the municipality of Lascahobas in
the Centre. Returnees mainly reside in three communes, which alone host 54 per cent of returnees: Cabaret, Tiburon and Dessalines.

HAITI – MOBILITY TRACKING
Displacement situation in Haiti – September 2025
METHODOLOGY
The General Directorate of Civil Protection (DGPC) and the IOM
Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) have been conducting periodic
assessments of locations hosting displaced populations since August 2022
in order to provide key information on the displacement situation as well
as the living conditions and needs of displaced populations. The objective
is to guide response strategies to the displacement situation, both
humanitarian responses and sustainable solution programs to this
situation.
Data collection:
1 August – 20 September 2025
Publication: October 2025
4,019

Key informants interviewed
Assessed locations
Figure 50. Locations where field interviews were conducted with key informants during Round 11
Data is collected through direct observation as well as interviews with
key informants at the lowest geographical level, which is the
neighbourhood in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince (MAPAP),
the communal section outside the MAPAP, and in spontaneous sites
where they exist. On average, three key informants are interviewed in
groups in each locality assessed.
Due to security challenges, some interviews may be conducted remotely
with key informants. During Round 11, data collection was conducted
from 1 August to 20 September 2025. A total of 4,019 key informants
were interviewed in the 1,163 locations assessed, including 507
communal sections out of the MAPAP, 418 neighbourhoods in the
MAPAP and 238 spontaneous sites. Of these locations, 90 per cent were
assessed through field interviews (see Figure 50), while 10 per cent were
assessed by phone.
Limitations:
The information collected represents estimates provided by key
informants for their communities. In order to obtain the best possible
estimates (the closest to reality), assessments are conducted at the
lowest geographical level, and key informants interviewed are the people
with the best knowledge of their communities (see Figure 51).
