6 million in Haiti face severe hunger amid violence, displacement and El Niño

Severe hunger is affecting nearly six million people in Haiti, with almost two million facing emergency levels of food insecurity. This situation is exacerbated by ongoing violence, displacement, and the impact of El Niño, a weather pattern that can lead to crop failures and droughts. The severe hunger in Haiti poses a significant threat to the country's economy and global food markets, as Haiti relies heavily on imports to meet its food needs.
