(2025-09) Displacement Situation in Haiti, Round 11 (September 2025)

International Organization for Migration (IOM) 2025 27 pages
Summary — Round 11 of the IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix counted 1,412,199 internally displaced people in Haiti in September 2025, 10 per cent above Round 10 in June and equivalent to 12 per cent of the population. The increase came from the continued deterioration of security in the Artibonite and Centre departments. The Centre rose from 147,230 to 199,258 IDPs after preventive displacement from attacks near Mirebalais and Lascahobas in July 2025, and Artibonite from 92,304 to 121,896 after attacks in La Chapelle, Dessalines, Verrettes and Petite Rivière between July and September.
Key Findings
Full Description

Round 11 of the IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix counted 1,412,199 internally displaced people in Haiti in September 2025, 10 per cent above Round 10 in June and equivalent to 12 per cent of the population. The increase came from the continued deterioration of security in the Artibonite and Centre departments. The Centre rose from 147,230 to 199,258 IDPs after preventive displacement from attacks near Mirebalais and Lascahobas in July 2025, and Artibonite from 92,304 to 121,896 after attacks in La Chapelle, Dessalines, Verrettes and Petite Rivière between July and September.

The Directorate General of Civil Protection (DGPC) and IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix have assessed locations hosting displaced people periodically since August 2022. Data come from direct observation and from interviews with key informants at the lowest administrative level, the neighbourhood inside the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince and the communal section outside it. Provinces hosted 79 per cent of IDPs against 21 per cent in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince. Of the mass displacements the DTM emergency tracking tool recorded during 2025, 69 per cent followed attacks in the provinces and 31 per cent attacks in the capital, with the Centre accounting for 38 per cent and Artibonite 26 per cent.

Data collection ran from 1 August to 20 September 2025. Women and girls are 54 per cent of the displaced population and children 52 per cent. Children are a smaller share inside sites, 38 per cent, because families facing the worst site conditions send children to relatives elsewhere in the capital or the provinces.

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. 1. 2. 3. For Haitian population figures, see UNFPA estimates, 2024 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 For more information, see the emergency tracking dataset.

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. 18 - 59 4% 4% 21% 16% 12 - 17 11% 9% 6 - 11 9% 7% 7% 5% 1-5 <1 INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATIONS ORGANISATION INTERNATIONALE POUR LES MIGRATIONS Website: https://dtm.iom.int/haiti Site web: https://dtm.iom.int/haiti Contact: dtmhaiti@iom.int Contact: dtmhaiti@iom.int 8% Women (56%) Men (44%) 4% 3% The following citation is required when using the data and information included in this report: “International Organization for Migration5(IOM), Round 9 - December 2024, DTM Assessment of theto rounding, displacementsome situation in Haiti.may IOMnot Haiti.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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). 108 Figure 29.

This is explained by the fact that the relocation program implemented by government institutions primarily targets IDPs hosted in schools.

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. Figure 34.

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. Figure 36.

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. Figure 39.

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 1,163 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).
