Deportations from Dominican Republic
In October 2024, the Government of the Dominican Republic announced that it would begin deporting up to 10,000 Haitian migrants back to Haiti per week. By mid-November, there were nearly 40,000 deportations, with around 27,000 in October alone - the highest monthly number since the end of 2022. This report emphasises the increased risks and needs facing deportees, returnees, and host communities given Haiti’s longstanding humanitarian crisis and escalating gang violence in 2024.
