Haiti's Dire Conditions Leave UN Struggling to Feed Thousands

The World Food Programme (WFP) is unable to feed 100,000 Haitians this month due to insufficient funding, exacerbating the worst hunger crisis the country has ever witnessed. Surging food inflation and increased demand for assistance have driven up the cost of delivering aid, while donors have cut funding. Haiti has been engulfed in brutal gang violence since the assassination of its president in July 2021, pushing 4.9 million people into food insecurity. Earthquakes and flooding have further worsened the crisis, but NGOs are scaling back their response due to funding shortages. Without immediate financial support, thousands of vulnerable Haitians will be left without assistance.
