« Il faut faire plus pour soutenir la police et les forces haïtiennes pour ramener le contrôle », a-t-il ajouté. De son côté, Antony Blinken a insisté sur le fait que « des membres [de gang] sont connectés à des élites qui les dirigent, qui les financent et que l’État ne contrôle pas ». « Que dites-vous aux Haïtiens et aux membres de la diaspora pour les rassurer ?

News and Press Release in English on Haiti about Food and Nutrition, Gender, Epidemic and more; published on 27 Oct 2022 by Plan International.

As the hunger crisis also worsens, Plan International says it will continue to provide assistance to women, girls and their families too. The hope is to reach at least 77,300 households for the response within our areas of interventions,” says Canez. This has directly resulted in numerous cases of unwanted and early pregnancies according to the research. We have been building powerful partnerships for children for more than 80 years and now work in more than 75 countries. This year is especially concerning as the World Health Organization has said there’s a shortage of cholera vaccines due to a rise in global cases. The research shows that on average, women in 87% of households receive a lower food ration than men, compared with 12% of women who receive the most. Plan International will also develop a radio spot for awareness raising in communities. But the ongoing violence and fuel shortages in the country have made access difficult. The UN also says 100,000 children under the age of five are severely malnourished in Haiti. Some 4.7 million people are experiencing high levels of acute food insecurity in a crisis driven by political violence and natural disasters in the Caribbean country. The fuel shortages and daily violence are affecting how and where we can work and urgent supplies are not getting where they should be. Not only are we challenged with getting enough funds to provide food and other crucial elements, with the current crisis in the country it is almost impossible to move around.
