UNHCR Factsheet Details Protection Work for Displaced Haitians, July–September 2026

The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) has published its Haiti factsheet covering July through September 2026, outlining protection activities for internally displaced people amid ongoing insecurity, according to a report on ReliefWeb.

In July, UNHCR partner OCNH and the Civil Registry Office in Hinche city signed an agreement to provide free civil status documents to 400 internally displaced persons, aimed at strengthening access to legal identity and reducing documentation-related protection risks.

On World Humanitarian Day, UNHCR joined a community discussion organized by its partner ODELPA on challenges facing humanitarian actors amid insecurity and growing needs. In August, the agency delivered a training session during the Haiti Summer University, organized by the Haitian Institute for Human Rights, focused on international protection, refugee rights and asylum procedures.

On 21 September, UNHCR took part in the Citizen Forum for Peace, organized by the Office de la Protection du Citoyen and the UN Country Team, to mark the International Day of Peace.

UNHCR and partners also conducted protection monitoring missions to Belladère, Ouanaminthe, Cap-Haïtien and Kenscoff, supporting birth registration and, through ICDH coordination with the National Archives, access to birth certificate extracts. CERF-funded activities strengthened partner capacity, according to UNHCR.
