Extreme weather events, rising food insecurity, high levels of human mobility, and escalating living costs and inflation due to global economic trends are driving humanitarian needs in El Salvador.
El Salvador serves as both a source and transit point for people on the move. Violent incidents have decreased, allowing for greater access to communities previously controlled by gangs. These areas now require an expansion of protection services to meet their accumulated unmet needs and their limited ability to cope and develop.
In 2024, the humanitarian community seeks to assist 506,214 of the most vulnerable people, which is about 45 per cent of those in need, for which the 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan requires US$86.6 million. The number of people in need for 2024 has slightly increased from 2023, mainly due to drought conditions caused by El Niño and the increased need for protection services in communities that were previously inaccessible
Nevertheless, vulnerable people — including women, children, Indigenous people, LGBTQI+ people and people with disabilities — still face significant needs that require a continued response linked to sustainable development.
