- Une majorité significative (84%) des PDI sont hébergées hors des sites spontanés, principalement chez des familles d'accueil.

Description Complete
Ce rapport de la 13e ronde, couvrant mai 2026, détaille la situation des déplacements en Haïti, notant une légère augmentation de 1% des personnes déplacées internes (PDI) depuis décembre 2025, portant le total à 1 466 862. Cette tendance nationale masque des dynamiques régionales significatives, incluant une hausse de 6% des PDI dans la zone métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince en raison des affrontements à Cité Soleil, et une augmentation de 5% dans l'Artibonite suite à des attaques récurrentes. Inversement, le nombre de personnes retournées a bondi de 89%, avec des augmentations notables dans la capitale, les municipalités de l'Ouest hors capitale et le département du Centre, entraînant des diminutions de PDI dans le Centre et le Nord.
Le rapport souligne que 84% des PDI sont hébergées hors sites, principalement chez des familles d'accueil, tandis que 16% se trouvent dans des sites spontanés. Les enfants représentent 51% de toutes les PDI, avec une disparité démographique entre les populations en site et hors site. L'alimentation, les moyens de subsistance, l'hébergement, l'eau, l'hygiène, l'assainissement et la santé sont constamment identifiés comme les besoins les plus urgents dans les localités d'accueil.
