Humanitarian Action for Children 2022: Haiti

This edition of UNICEF's Humanitarian Action for Children appeal covers 2022. The 14 August 2021 magnitude-7.2 earthquake further exacerbated an already challenging humanitarian situation shaped by persistent political instability, socioeconomic crisis, rising food insecurity and malnutrition, gang-related insecurity and internal displacement, the COVID-19 pandemic, the expulsion of Haitian migrants from several countries in the Americas, and continuing Haitian-Dominican migration challenges. In response, UNICEF is supporting the Government and humanitarian partners to ensure access to and continuity of basic WASH, education, health, nutrition, child protection and social protection services, while facilitating disaster risk reduction, emergency preparedness, and activities addressing violence against children, including gender-based violence and the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse. For 2022, UNICEF requests USD 97 million, which includes residual needs from the earthquake response together with other urgent humanitarian response requirements, to reach 953,796 people, including 521,932 children, out of 4.4 million people in need.
