Haiti is the regionโ€™s most acute crisis. 6.4 million people need humanitarian assistance in 2026, and around 1.47 million (about 12% of the population) are internally displaced. About 5.8 million face acute food insecurity, more than 1.8 million of them in Emergency. 3,050 people were killed in the first half of 2026, and more than 21,000 since the start of 2022, yet the UN appeal had received only 25% of the $880 million required.

In Venezuela, 7.9 million people are in need, and 5.37 million refugees and migrants across 17 countries need assistance. In Colombia, 10.4 million people need aid in 2026, and 1.5 million were affected by conflict and violence in 2025, three times the 2024 figure. 172,395 people were confined by armed groups between January 2025 and February 2026.
