Haiti: Mass displacement and deportation surge amid violence

Haiti is experiencing a deepening crisis of mass displacement and deportations amid escalating gang violence and daily deportations in 2025.
The surge results from intensified gang attacks, cross-border deportations from the Dominican Republic, and internal displacement converging especially on Belladère.
This situation has led to over 51,000 displaced people in the Centre department, with informal sites and host families providing shelter despite limited services and blocked humanitarian access.
Between January and March 2025, violence killed at least 1,617 people and injured 580, with 161 kidnappings reported; in April, around 20,000 Haitians were deported, including vulnerable women, children, and newborns.
Aid organizations, including IOM, provide targeted assistance amid increasing delivery challenges, while judicial reforms and security efforts are ongoing but face significant obstacles.
