- Nearly 200,000 individuals forcibly returned to Haiti this year.
- This figure marks an increase of over 20,000 compared to last year.

An emergency meeting of the UN Security Council convened on Friday, August 28, 2026, to address the escalating crisis in Haiti. A UN official revealed that nearly 200,000 people have been forcibly returned to the country within the first eight months of 2026.
