Haiti Humanitarian Emergency

Political instability, gang violence and the impact of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake in 2021 have escalated the complex humanitarian crisis in Haiti. Access to social services is compromised and risks of gender-based violence (GBV) heightened. UNFPA strengthens capacity at health facilities so that women and adolescent girls can access sexual and reproductive health services, and supports survivors of GBV.

Sudan Humanitarian Emergency

The October 2021 military takeover, with renewed violence between security forces and armed groups, threatens the anticipated socioeconomic recovery in Sudan. The situation is hampering access to essential services and is likely to exacerbate internal displacement. The country also hosts a large refugee population. UNFPA is helping women and girls access reproductive health and gender-based violence services.
