THE number of internally displaced people in Haiti has tripled over the last year and now exceeds one million, a record in the Caribbean nation, the United Nations migration agency has said.
The International Organisation for Migration said on Tuesday that “relentless gang violence” in the capital Port-au-Prince has fuelled a near-doubling of displacement there and a collapse of healthcare and other services, plus worsening food insecurity.
Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world.
