• The United Nations has issued an urgent warning that Haiti faces a full-scale humanitarian catastrophe as gang violence has displaced over 300,000 people in the past two months alone. • The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports critical shortages of food, water, and medical supplies; gang-controlled areas now cover approximately 60% of Port-au-Prince. • The US has deployed additional Coast Guard vessels to monitor the situation and assist with refugee operations, while discussions continue about potential military intervention or expanded peacekeeping measures.

• The United Nations reported that renewed fighting in South Sudan has displaced over 500,000 people in the past month, creating a humanitarian emergency affecting food security across the region. • The World Food Programme warned that without immediate intervention, famine conditions could emerge within 60 days, affecting approximately 8 million people across South Sudan and neighboring countries. • The US has committed an additional $150 million in humanitarian assistance, but aid organizations stress that security challenges continue to impede delivery of food and medical supplies to affected populations.

• The United Nations reported on April 4, 2026, that 25 million Sudanese face famine risk due to ongoing civil war blocking aid routes in Darfur and Khartoum. • US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield announced $300 million in emergency food assistance during a Security Council session, bringing total US aid to $1.2 billion since 2023. • Conflict between Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces has displaced 8.5 million, making it the world's largest humanitarian crisis, per UN estimates.
