KEY FIGURES 1.8K people displaced on 29 May due to insecurity in Artibonite, Haiti 20K confirmed measles cases in LAC in 2026, 4x more than the same period in 2025 12.6K people face mobility restrictions due to armed clashes in Chocó, Colombia REGIONAL: MEASLES Measles cases in the Americas have reached their highest levels since 2019, with 20,521 confirmed cases and 25 deaths reported across 16 countries and one territory between epidemiological weeks 1 and 20 of 2026 - a fourfold increase compared to the same period in 2025. Mexico and Guatemala account for the majority of cases, with 10,920 and 6,209 confirmed respectively, including 25 deaths between them, with 75 per cent of Guatemalan fatalities in children under one year of age. Infants under one year face the highest incidence rate across the region at 9.7 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, and 45 per cent of confirmed cases were unvaccinated. PAHO/WHO urges authorities to urgently strengthen vaccination and surveillance activities and close immunity gaps across the region. CENTRAL AMERICA: FOOD INSECURITY Deteriorating dry conditions across the Dry Corridor are compounding food insecurity ahead of the critical primera planting season. FEWS NET’s regional seasonal monitor confirms that most of Honduras and Guatemala’s Caribbean coast received less than 30 per cent of normal rainfall between late April and late May, with planting delays and early pest emergence already reported. In Honduras, white maize prices remain 49 per cent above last year, while fuel prices — 64 per cent higher than last year — are driving up production costs. In El Salvador, below-average rainfall and above-average temperatures are expected to disrupt primera crop development, particularly for rainfed smallholders. According to FEWS NET, Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes are widespread across both countries, with Crisis (IPC Phase 3) conditions projected to emerge between June and September, particularly across the Dry Corridor. HAITI: VIOLENCE & DISPLACEMENT Violence continues to spread to previously unaffected areas across Haiti, compounding an already severe displacement crisis. On 29 May, security concerns in the 4th section of Lalouère, municipality of Saint-Marc, Artibonite department, displaced 1,862 people, all of whom sought refuge with host families within the municipality. This latest incident reflects a broader pattern of violence extending beyond traditional conflict hotspots, increasingly leaving displaced populations with fewer safe options. The crisis is further compounded by forced returns. Since early 2026, more than 110,000 Haitians have been forcibly returned to the country, many arriving without resources into communities already under severe strain. According to IOM, over half of Haiti’s 1,466,862 internally displaced persons are women and girls, with priority needs including food, shelter, water and sanitation, health, and psychosocial support. COLOMBIA: VIOLENCE & DISPLACEMENT Ongoing armed confrontations between two non-state armed groups (NSAGs) disputing territorial control across the Baudó subregion of Chocó department continue to drive a severe humanitarian crisis affecting at least 89 indigenous and Afro-Colombian ethnic communities. As of 4 June, at least 2,550 people in Bajo Baudó remain actively confined, 178 people have been displaced, and approximately 12,605 people face significant mobility restrictions across Alto and Bajo Baudó. Drone attacks carrying explosives and landmine contamination continue to limit access to agricultural land and disrupt schooling for around 4,077 children and adolescents. Humanitarian partners have delivered food, shelter, legal assistance and health support, though access constraints continue to limit reach in the most affected rural communities.
