Mortality and Violence in Haiti in 2023: 2 population-based surveys | Thomas Roederer
Haiti faces chronic instability for decades, but recent years have seen exacerbation following the assassination of president Juvenel Moise in 2021. Data on mortality and violence are virtually non-existent. To address this information gap, Epicentre conducted two retrospective mortality surveys, one among MSF national staff and another in the Cité Soleil commune population in Port-au-Prince.
Two surveys confirm the alarming levels of violence experienced by the Haitian population. In 2022-2023, Haiti was one of the most dangerous countries in the world for civilians.
