Arab Haitians

Arab Haitians are Haitians of full or partial Arab ancestry, including Arab-born immigrants to Haiti.

History
The first Levantine immigrants arrived in Haiti in the mid 19th century. Many of Levantines migrated to the countryside where they peddled and were very informal economically speaking. World War I, which took place when Lebanon was part of the Germany-allied Ottoman Empire, triggered a Lebanese migration to the Americas, with Haiti receiving a large number of Lebanese immigrants. Haiti also received a score of Palestinian refugees during the 1948 Nakba. ==Notable people==
