In 2020, 4.6 million Haitians - about 40 per cent of the total population - will require urgent humanitarian assistance, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.

Of the total figure, more than 57 per cent of people are women and 45.5 per cent are children.

The situation is expected to remain unstable in the coming months, which will further weaken the country's economy and, consequently, the ability of the poorest Haitians to meet their basic needs as well as the capacity of the State to provide essential services.
