• The UNSC approved the deployment of a GoK-led MSS mission to Haiti on October 2, aimed at reducing OCG violence and related insecurity. Up to 80 percent of people in Haiti’s capital city of Port-au-Prince live in areas under OCG control, limiting access to basic goods and services and hindering humanitarian assistance efforts, the UN reports.

• Artibonite Department has experienced a surge in OCG violence—particularly targeting farming households—in 2023, prompting displacement, disrupting or suspending income-generating activities, and increasing food insecurity concerns.

• Living conditions among IDPs in Port-au-Prince metropolitan area continue to deteriorate, with an increasingly higher number of IDPs sheltering in informal sites with limited resources. Host communities report facing increased strain on already limited household resources when hosting IDPs, with nearly 90 percent of IDPs and host community members experiencing food shortages at least once in the past 30 days.

• In response to rising protection needs resulting from OCG violence, USAID/BHA partners, including Concern Worldwide, GOAL, and SCF, continue to provide assistance to vulnerable populations through protection awareness training, PSS sessions, and GBV response service.
