Martin Griffiths, Emergency Relief Coordinator for the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), has allocated $12 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund to help those affected by the ongoing violence that have erupted in the capital Port-au-Prince since February 29, 2024.

The funds will go towards providing food, water, protection, healthcare, and sanitation and hygiene support to displaced people and host communities in Port-au-Prince and the neighboring department of Artibonite, which has also been affected by the violence.

Meanwhile, OCHA says that the situation remains tense and volatile, with attacks on healthcare facilities aggravating the already dire situation. According to UNICEF, three out of four women and children lack access to essential public health and nutrition services in the metropolitan area.

The emergency response continues, on Wednesday April 3, the World Food Program (WFP) distributed 17,000 hot meals to displaced people in Port-au-Prince.

The International Organization for Migration distributed more than 70,000 liters of water to 6 displaced people sites across the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area.
