Displacement Situation in Haiti, Round 13 (May 2026)

This Round 13 report, covering May 2026, details the displacement situation in Haiti, noting a slight 1% increase in internally displaced persons (IDPs) since December 2025, bringing the total to 1,466,862. This national trend masks significant regional dynamics, including a 6% rise in IDPs in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince due to clashes in Cité Soleil, and a 5% increase in Artibonite from recurrent attacks. Conversely, the number of returnees surged by 89%, with notable increases in the capital, West municipalities outside the capital, and the Centre department, leading to decreases in IDPs in Centre and North. The report highlights that 84% of IDPs are hosted outside sites, primarily with host families, while 16% are in spontaneous sites. Children constitute 51% of all IDPs, with a demographic disparity between site and non-site populations. Food, livelihoods, shelter, water, hygiene, sanitation, and health are consistently identified as the most pressing needs across host localities.
