Between 18 and 24 April 2026, multiple attacks and clashes in Haiti’s Ouest, Artibonite, and Sud-Est departments displaced approximately 13,000 people. In Ouest, nearly 5,000 individuals were displaced, with about half seeking shelter in seven overcrowded sites near Cité Soleil and Croix-des-Bouquets. Attacks in Artibonite’s L’Estère caused nearly 2,600 people to relocate, mostly with relatives, host communities, or in informal sites, further straining limited services. Notably, violence in Sud-Est led to over 5,600 people fleeing Marigot, expanding insecurity beyond traditional hotspots.
In Ecuador, the ongoing rainy season from December to May has triggered widespread flooding and landslides. Since January, 2,579 adverse weather events have affected more than 103,000 people nationwide, including in Amazonian provinces like Orellana. The coastal provinces of Guayas, Los Ríos, and Esmeraldas remain among the hardest hit. The death toll stands at 17, and over 18,800 people remain displaced or without adequate shelter. Damaged infrastructure and insecurity hinder access to services and aid, especially in rural areas. A national state of emergency remains in effect as authorities continue response efforts.
In Colombia’s Tibú municipality, Catatumbo sub-region, escalating violence by non-state armed groups from 20 March to 17 April has worsened the humanitarian situation. Clashes, drone attacks, unexploded ordnance, and threats against civilians have displaced an estimated 1,044 people, many now living in improvised or overcrowded conditions. Venezuelan refugees and migrants make up about 42 percent of the displaced, while children and adolescents comprise approximately 41 percent, facing heightened protection risks and disrupted access to services and education.
Meanwhile, more than 140,000 households in Venezuela’s Sucre state continue to suffer from a prolonged water crisis caused by partial obstruction of the Turimiquire system due to seismic activity in February 2026.
