UN Haiti Appeal: Lowest Funding, Rising Violence
The UN is asking for money to help Haiti, but they haven't received much yet.
Haiti is facing big problems: many people have died in fighting, a lot are hungry, and many have had to leave their homes.
The UN says they need over $900 million, but only a small amount has been given.
The UN is saying that the help from other countries isn't enough to deal with the issues.
The UN says stopping guns from getting into Haiti and putting sanctions on those helping the gangs is very important.
They are hoping that the violence will stop.
UN's Haiti appeal for 2025 is the least funded response plan globally.
The appeal aims to raise over $900 million but has only received 9.2% of its funding.
Over 3,100 people have died this year due to conflict with armed gangs in Haiti.
More than half of Haiti's population faces food insecurity, with around 1.3 million displaced.
The UN coordinator emphasized the need to stop arms trafficking into Haiti to end violence.
