Haïti — Baseline Assessment – Round 0 (Avril 2022)

Since June 2021, an upsurge in clashes between armed gangs has caused a widespread insecurity situation in several municipalities in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area and the displacement of more than 19,000 people. This insecurity, culminated in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July 2021, aggravates the economic and political crisis that continues to affect Haiti. On August 14, 2021, an earthquake with an epicenter about 13 km southeast of Petit-Trou-de-Nippes hit the departments of Nippes. South and Grand'Anse. This earthquake caused the death of 2,246 people, as well as the destruction or significant damage to more than 115,000 homes, thus affecting at least 800,000 people, 650,000 of whom required a response humanitarian emergency (OCHA). The DTM and the DGPC estimate that at least 38,777 people have been displaced to assembly sites by the earthquake, of which 22,646 remain displaced as of April 2022.
