The UN FAO warns that over 5.9 million people in Haiti face acute food insecurity, a number projected to rise to 6.35 million in six months. This escalating crisis, affecting over half the population, is driven by violent insecurity and El Niño's effects, hindering access to markets and agricultural inputs. Humanitarian efforts remain significantly underfunded, exacerbating the dire situation.
