Sheltered in schools, public squares, churches, training centers, or houses of family and friends, thousands of people lack even the most basic services, their situation deteriorates, and children cannot return to their homes.

We are here without any donation from the government; our living conditions are inhuman, and we have no drinking water or food. We do not know what to do in this complex situation, one of the refugees told Le National newspaper.

In Carrefour Feuilles only, at least 32,000 people had to flee their homes to take refuge in 45 sites, including about 20 schools.

In early October, the Haitian Civil Protection Agency announced that at least 200,000 people had been forced to flee violence in the face of attacks by armed groups over the last year and a half.
