How UNICEF Supports Children Displaced by Violence in Haiti

Violence caused by armed groups in Haiti has pushed almost 600,000 people out of their homes. Between March and July 2, 2024, the number of internally displaced children in Haiti increased by an estimated 60 percent - the equivalent of one child every minute.
Camps and makeshift settlements for the internally displaced are filled with families in urgent need of assistance. "We didn't take anything other than the children," says Stephanie Toussaint, who has been staying in a Port-au-Prince IDP camp since January 2024. "My greatest dream at the moment is to return home with my children."
UNICEF is working with partners to provide basic services for children caught in Haiti's deepening humanitarian crisis, including health care, nutrition support and protective spaces where kids can go to "be a child again and have a way to escape the reality of what's actually happening to them," says UNICEF Haiti Chief of Emergency Taz Doriza Phiri.
