From July 2026 to January 2027, FEWS NET projects widespread Crisis, IPC Phase 3, outcomes across Haiti, while some households will continue to face Emergency, IPC Phase 4, outcomes in the worst-affected areas. The most severe conditions are expected at internally displaced person sites in the Port-au-Prince Metropolitan Area, Lower Artibonite, and some communes of Centre and Nord-Ouest.

Violence displaced 5,840 people

Approximately 5,840 people from 1,836 households were displaced by the expansion of armed groups into Kenscoff in early July 2026; 86% are being hosted by host families. Insecurity in this horticultural area is limiting access to agricultural land, reducing planted area, disrupting harvests, and constraining fresh produce supplies to Port-au-Prince.

Food prices nearly 90% above average

Nearly 90% above the five-year average is the level at which staple food prices remain in Haiti. Although inflation slowed slightly and some fuel prices declined, insecurity along major road corridors continues to raise logistics and marketing costs and constrain very poor households' economic access to food.
