KEY FIGURES 103K people affected by rain-related incidents in the ongoing rainy season in Ecuador 13K people displaced due to violence across Haiti since 18 April 140K households face a severe lack of water in Sucre, Venezuela HAITI: VIOLENCE & DISPLACEMENT Between 18 and 24 April, multiple attacks and clashes were reported across the Ouest, Artibonite and Sud Est departments. In Ouest, renewed clashes near Cité Soleil and Croix de Bouquets displaced nearly 5,000 people, around half sheltering in seven overcrowded sites. In Artibonite, attacks in L’Estère displaced almost 2,600 people, most staying with relatives, host communities or in informal sites, further stretching limited services. For the first time, violence in Sud-Est, typically a receiving area for displaced populations, triggered the displacement of more than 5,600 people from Marigot, underscoring the geographic expansion of insecurity beyond traditional hotspots. ECUADOR: RAINY SEASON Ecuador’s rainy season, which runs from December to May on the coast and in much of the country, continues to drive widespread flooding and landslides, with 2,579 adverse events recorded since January affecting over 103,000 people nationwide, including in Amazonian provinces such as Orellana. Coastal provinces such as Guayas, Los Ríos, and Esmeraldas remain the hardest hit. The death toll has reached 17, with more than 18,800 people displaced or without adequate shelter. Damaged roads and transport infrastructure, as well as insecurity, are limiting access to services and aid, particularly in rural areas. A nationwide state of emergency remains in effect, with authorities continuing to manage response efforts. COLOMBIA: VIOLENCE & DISPLACEMENT Between 20 March and 17 April, intensified violence by non-state armed groups in Tibú municipality, in Colombia’s Catatumbo sub-region, rapidly deteriorated the humanitarian situation in rural areas. Escalating clashes, drone attacks, unexploded ordnance, and threats against civilians have driven the displacement of an estimated 1,044 people, many now sheltering in improvised or overcrowded host arrangements. Refugees and migrants, predominantly Venezuelan nationals, account for about 42 per cent of those displaced, while children, girls, and adolescents make up approximately 41 per cent, facing heightened protection risks, barriers to essential services, and disrupted access to education amid continued insecurity and restricted mobility. VENEZUELA: WATER SUPPLY More than 140,000 households continue to face a prolonged water emergency in Sucre state after seismic activity on 22 February partially obstructed the Turimiquire system, significantly reducing water production and distribution. Communities in Cumaná, Araya, and Manicuare have endured more than 20 consecutive days without regular supply, relying heavily on water trucking and unsafe sources, increasing public health risks. Between March and 22 April, humanitarian partners delivered WASH and health assistance to more than 2,000 families (10,925 people), though coverage remains limited relative to needs. To support scale-up, the Venezuela Humanitarian Fund approved a US$1 million reserve allocation for emergency assistance, while the European Union contributed EUR 150,000 ($163,000) through IFRC’s DREF to enable water storage and purification support for more than 18,000 people.
