Despite limited improvements compared with the projection published in September 2025, the food security situation in Haiti remains critical. Between March and June 2026, over 5.83 million people (52 percent of the analysed population) are experiencing high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above). This represents a marginal improvement compared to the previous estimate of 5.91 million people in Phase 3 or worse.
The food security crisis is marked by ongoing armed violence, the impacts of Hurricane Melissa that hit the southern part of the country in October 2025, and economic collapse which is further exacerbated by the conflict in the Middle East.
