Violence in Haiti has nearly doubled the number of displaced children in a year, with 680,000 children now uprooted, according to UNICEF. This surge in displacement is driven by armed groups tightening their control and the collapse of public services, leaving over 6 million people, including 3.3 million children, in need of humanitarian assistance.

• Over 1 million children face critical levels of food insecurity, and 288,500 children under age 5 are projected to suffer from acute malnutrition in 2025.
• Executive Director Catherine Russell of UNICEF highlighted the terrifying scale of violence and displacement affecting Haiti's children.
• The UN Security Council approved an expanded international security mission last month, but it remains underfunded and understaffed, while UNICEF's appeal for aid also faces severe funding shortfalls.
