Unrelenting gang violence in Haiti has led to a significant exodus from different cities, with over 578,000 people fleeing their homes since 2021, according to the U.N. migration agency.
This mass displacement is severely straining the resources of already impoverished cities and towns across the country. The number of people fleeing surged by 60 percent from March to May this year, driven by escalating attacks on critical infrastructure such as the international airport and main seaport, along with the widespread opening of prisons and attacks throughout the capital, Port-au-Prince.
