During the attack, a vehicle and about ten houses were set on fire.• Population displacement from Liancourt to Saint-Marc has been reported. No figures are currently available.• The local NGO Rassemblement National pour l'Épanouissement et le Progrès d'Haïti (RANEPH) provided hygiene kits to 500 displaced households from the 3rd and 5th communal sections of SaintMichel de l’Attalaye.• A meeting of the intersectoral coordination group, jointly supported by the Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation (MPCE) and OCHA, was held on 23 July to mobilize and coordinate the response for the displaced people from Marchand-Dessalines, which was attacked the previous week.SITUATION OVERVIEWIn Artibonite, the security context remains volatile. After a week of violence between 14 and 19 July, clashes resumed in Liancourt on 22 July. A provisional assessment reports that a vehicle and around ten houses were burned.Due to persistent insecurity, prospects for return remain limited. Displacement continues in Bas-Artibonite, with new arrivals reported in some communes of Haut-Artibonite, particularly Gonaïves and Ennery.In collaboration with the Departmental Directorate of Civil Protection-Artibonite (DDPC-A), as of 19 July, IOM reported 14,885 displaced persons (3,425 households) across the communes of Dessalines (11,857 IDPs), Saint-Michel (1,757 IDPs), Gonaïves (225 IDPs), and Verrettes (941 IDPs). All displaced people are currently staying with host families.The deterioration of the situation in the department, particularly in Bas-Artibonite, is making the humanitarian crisis increasingly concerning. The response remains insufficient due to the financial constraints faced by humanitarian actors. Nevertheless, some organizations, mostly local, are managing to access affected areas. According to DDPC-A, displaced people need hot meals, water, psychosocial support, food kits, and non-food items (mattresses, blankets, etc.). Given that host families themselves are often already vulnerable, a community-based response should be considered.
