Hunger in Haiti isn’t due to a lack of food—it’s driven by systemic barriers that prevent access to nutritious meals. As of August 2025, over 5.7 million Haitians—nearly half the population—are experiencing acute food insecurity, with more than 2 million facing emergency levels of hunger.

Escalating gang violence has displaced over 1.3 million people, disrupting food distribution and leaving many without access to markets or aid. Compounding this, economic instability has led to inflation exceeding 30%, making food unaffordable for many families.

Additionally, climate change has exacerbated environmental degradation, reducing agricultural productivity and limiting food availability.

These interconnected challenges create a complex crisis, but together, we can address the root causes and work towards a hunger-free Haiti.
