Humanitarian Action for Children 2024: Haiti

This edition of UNICEF's Humanitarian Action for Children appeal covers 2024. Haitians are facing some of the worst human rights violations and threats to their lives in the country's recent history, resulting in chronic and acute humanitarian needs, including unprecedented levels of gender-based violence. Prolonged political turmoil, disease outbreaks, disasters and escalating armed violence persist, resulting in 3 million children requiring humanitarian assistance, a number that could grow if new shocks hit. In 2024, UNICEF is scaling up its response by providing support to the Government through access to and continuity of basic services, while also contributing to humanitarian-development-peacebuilding nexus strategies.

UNICEF provides WASH, education, health, nutrition, child protection, gender-based violence and social protection services; supports cholera rapid-response teams; and maintains disaster risk reduction and emergency preparedness activities. UNICEF requires USD 221.7 million to meet humanitarian needs in Haiti in 2024, targeting 2.1 million people, including 1.1 million children, out of 5.5 million people in need, and stresses that timely, flexible funding is essential to reach the most vulnerable, crisis-affected children.
