With violence grounding commercial flights, UN Humanitarian Air Service remains the only way in and out of #Haiti’s capital—a vital lifeline for humanitarians. In 2025, UNHAS has stepped up operations, completing 700 flights and transporting 7500 aid workers to keep the crisis response going.


.@UNHAS planes and helicopters deliver lifesaving aid when no one else can—no matter where, no matter what. But without new funds, this vital service that keeps the entire humanitarian system moving will be grounded. World Food Programme needs $101m to ensure UNHAS stays in the skies in 2025.
