Haitian migration is among the most intricate in the Central America and Caribbean region. Since 2019, factors like political unrest, social tensions, widespread insecurity, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the earthquake on August 14,
2021, have hindered Haitians' ability to fulfill their needs and access vital services, leading to irregular migration patterns. Consequently, thousands of Haitians
depart in pursuit of better living conditions, often risking much to migrate irregularly to other nations.
