قَالَتِ المُنَظَّمَةُ الدَّوْلِيَّةُ لِلْهِجْرَةِ إِنَّ نَحْوَ مِلْيُونٍ وَنِصْفِ شَخْصٍ نَزَحُوا مِنْ بُيُوتِهِمْ فِي هَايْتِي. وَيَرْجِعُ هٰذَا النُّزُوحُ إِلَى العُنْفِ فِي أَجْزَاءٍ مِنَ البِلَادِ.
وَيَعِيشُ نَحْوُ ثَمَانِينَ فِي المِئَةِ مِنَ النَّازِحِينَ خَارِجَ بُورْت أُو بْرَانْس، عَاصِمَةِ هَايْتِي. وَيُقِيمُ بَعْضُهُمْ مَعَ أُسَرٍ أُخْرَى، وَيَعِيشُ آخَرُونَ فِي مَرَاكِزَ مُؤَقَّتَةٍ لِلْإِيوَاءِ.
وَزَادَ النُّزُوحُ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ أَرْتِيبُونِيتَ بَيْنَ مَايُو وَأَغُسْطُسَ مِنْ هٰذَا العَامِ. كَمَا تَزِيدُ مَخَاطِرُ الأَعَاصِيرِ وَالأَمْطَارِ وَالفَيَضَانَاتِ فِي مَوْسِمِ الأَعَاصِيرِ. وَقَالَتِ المُنَظَّمَةُ إِنَّ هٰذِهِ الأَخْطَارَ قَدْ تَجْعَلُ حَيَاةَ الأُسَرِ النَّازِحَةِ أَصْعَبَ.

Nearly 1.5 Million People Displaced in Haiti
The International Organization for Migration said that nearly 1.5 million people have left their homes in Haiti. This displacement is due to violence in parts of the country.
About 80 percent of the displaced people live outside Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital. Some stay with other families, while others live in temporary shelters.
Displacement increased in the Artibonite region between May and August this year. The risks from hurricanes, rain, and floods also increase during hurricane season. The organization said these dangers could make life harder for displaced families.
