The CARICOM Eminent Persons Group (EPG) wishes to inform the Haitian public that it is not in any way involved in the political initiative called ‘Washington-Haiti-CARICOM Socio-Political Relief Solution organised by the Consensus des Assises du Dialogue Inter-Haïtien (CADIH)’.

The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert R. Ramdin, today presented an update to member states on the Organization’s work in support of Haiti, highlighting concrete progress in political facilitation, electoral preparation, security support, international coordination, and strengthening the Organization’s institutional presence in the country. During his remarks, the Secretary General underscored that the OAS’s efforts have focused on supporting Haitian-led solutions, strengthening coordination among national and international actors, and advancing toward a more structured implementation phase of the Roadmap for Stability and Peace in Haiti.

During this meeting, both parties agreed to open the airspace between the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti, allowing air connections between Dominican airports and the Cap-Haïtien International Airport, starting in May 2026. This measure aims to facilitate mobility, boost economic ties, and strengthen relations between the two countries.

With new data showing more than half of all Haitians continue to face acute food insecurity, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is urgently calling for support to protect recent fragile gains in the fight against hunger and to foster stability in the struggling Caribbean nation. An updated analysis from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) reveals 5.8 million Haitians —roughly 52 percent of the population— are facing crisis levels or worse of food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above). Of those, more than 1.8 million are enduring emergency food insecurity levels (IPC Phase 4) for the period of March to June 2026, meaning they are exhausting their last assets and unable to meet even basic food needs.

Les Nations Unies ont débloqué 140,5 millions de dollars en financement d'urgence afin de venir en aide à un million de personnes en Haïti, où plus de la moitié de la population a désormais besoin d'assistance alors que la violence, la faim et les déplacements poussent les familles au bord du gouffre. Ce soutien permettra de fournir de l'aide alimentaire, de l'eau potable, des soins de santé et des abris d'urgence, ainsi que des services spécialisés pour les plus vulnérables.
