UN's Haiti appeal has received lowest funding of any response plan, coordinator says
The UN's 2025 appeal for Haiti is only 9.2% funded despite escalating gang violence and displacement affecting over 1.3 million people, making it the lowest funded global response plan.
- On August 12, 2025, United Nations coordinator Ulrika Richardson highlighted that Haiti’s 2025 humanitarian response plan is experiencing the lowest level of funding compared to all other global appeals amid rising violence in the country.
- The funding shortfall results from worsening economic and political crises, the growing power of armed gangs, and a history of limited international intervention success.
- More than 3,100 people have died, 1.3 million have been displaced, half of them children, and two million face emergency food insecurity in Haiti this year.
- Richardson highlighted that although there are resources available, international efforts to address the situation in Haiti have been insufficient given the severity of conditions on the ground, with only 9.2% of the $900 million funding goal secured.
- The UN stressed that cutting arms smuggled mainly from Florida and imposing sanctions on gang networks are key to reducing violence, but international support must increase to prevent further spiraling.
