Since the start of 2025, "UNICEF and its partners have treated over 4,600 children with severe acute malnutrition" which was "only 3.6 percent of the 129,000 children projected to need life-saving treatment this year." (Credit: AFP)

Almost half of Haiti's population is without food, a United Nation's agency said, as gang violence continues to ravage the country.

Concretely, the World Food Program (WFP) said that Haiti is one of five countries in the world facing catastrophic levels of hunger, the others being Mali, South Sudan, Sudan and the Gaza Strip. It added that its supplies are "dwindling and disappearing," and there is not enough food to help people entering the state of emergency.
