IOM Reports New Displacement After Armed Violence in Croix-des-Bouquets
An Emergency Tracking Tool report covers displacement in the West Department between 18 and 26 October 2026.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has published Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) report 113 summarizing displacement following armed violence in the commune of Croix-des-Bouquets, in Haiti's West Department, according to material posted on ReliefWeb. The report reportedly covers the period from 18 to 26 October 2026. Full figures on the number of people displaced, the specific neighborhoods affected and the conditions facing those who fled were not available in the text retrieved for this summary. ETT reports are rapid assessments IOM uses to document population movements triggered by sudden-onset events such as gang-related violence. A separate ETT update (112.1) cited alongside the Croix-des-Bouquets report addresses displacement in the communes of Petite-Rivière and Verrettes in the Artibonite Department over a similar late-October window, according to IOM via ReliefWeb. Croix-des-Bouquets, on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince, has been repeatedly affected by armed group activity in recent years. Readers are advised that precise displacement totals and humanitarian response details should be confirmed directly from IOM's published ETT documents.
