Haiti: Violence in Croix-des-Bouquets Displaces About 2,000 Since Mid-October, 4,200 Killed January to September
UN humanitarian colleagues warn that intensified clashes in Haiti are putting people at growing risk, particularly in densely populated neighbourhoods of Port-au-Prince. Since mid-October 2026, violence in the commune of Croix-des-Bouquets in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area has displaced around 2,000 people, according to the International Organization for Migration.
Nearly 90 percent of those displaced are staying with host families, while the rest have sought shelter at five spontaneous sites. Between January and September 2026, some 4,200 people were killed in violence, according to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and some 1.5 million people remain displaced across the country.
The UN said the violence is hindering the coordination of safe humanitarian operations and curtailing access, making it harder to reach people in need. It called for communities to be protected and to be able to access health facilities, schools and other essential services.
