MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The humanitarian situation in Haiti has become catastrophic as humanitarian missions were forced to suspend their activities due to insecurity in the country, World Food Program (WFP) Country Director in Haiti Jean-Martin Bauer said on Friday, adding that almost half of the population in Haiti is facing acute hunger.
Bauer added that, according to the latest data from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), almost a half of the Haitian people, which is 4.7 million people, are facing hunger.

Haiti is experiencing a long-term socio-political crisis, which worsened after the
assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021. Over the past year, the inaction of the authorities has led to an unprecedented increase in the influence of the armed gangs that engage in extortion and kidnapping for ransom.
At the beginning of October, the situation was complicated by the outbreak of cholera, which has already claimed the lives of 16 people.
The country's government has asked the international community to send troops to curb criminal activity.
