"Haiti is seeing growing rates of hunger and malnutrition amid an unprecedented descent into violence and growing insecurity."
That's the UN's latest report on the country, which has been rocked by gang violence and political upheaval since the start of the year.
The violence began when gang leader Jimmy Ch'rizier joined forces with other gangs to form a coalition and overthrow acting Prime Minister Ariel Henry on Feb.
29.
Armed gangs stormed prisons, leading thousands of prisoners to flee, and coordinated gang attacks across the capital led Haitian officials to declare a state of emergency and impose a nighttime curfew.
In Port-au-Prince, where gang violence and insecurity have been the worst, hospitals have been looted while others closed, causing significant disruptions in the health sector.
Food prices have doubled, more than half of medical facilities in the capital and rural Artibonite department have closed or reduced capacity due to lack of supplies and patient access, and more than 35,000 people have fled their homes, sheltering in schools, churches, and abandoned buildings since the start of the year.
Since the beginning of 2024, Haiti has seen an uptick in the number of displaced people to over 362,000.
Almost 1.4 million people are on the brink of famine and starvation.
