Internal displacement in Haiti extends beyond the capital and affects 1.5 million people.

Approximately 1.5 million people have been forced to flee their homes in Haiti due to ongoing gang violence, according to warnings issued on Friday by the International Organization for Migration. The internal displacement crisis has now expanded beyond the capital city.

In addition to the widespread violence, the situation for displaced populations has been exacerbated by natural disasters, including hurricanes and seasonal flooding, which continue to compound the humanitarian challenges in the country.
