Haitians are struggling with rising oil prices due to the conflict in Iran. The government recently increased fuel prices, leading to higher transportation costs and worsening food insecurity. Nearly half of Haiti's population faces acute food insecurity, and gang violence is making the situation worse by disrupting supply chains. Many Haitians, like factory worker Alexandre Joseph, can no longer afford basic necessities. The United Nations warns that the humanitarian crisis is deepening, with more needs and fewer resources. Protests have erupted, and experts fear the situation will lead to more violence and suffering.
