Haiti is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis and faces unresolved political challenges. In an effort to help the country through this difficult time, the United Nations has announced a plan to establish an air bridge to provide assistance and a steady flow of humanitarian aid to the Caribbean nation. This is due to increasing gang violence and the lack of basic resources in the country.
The World Food Program (WFP) is currently distributing food in Port-au-Prince, but the situation is desperate as the program could soon close due to lack of monetary resources. It is estimated that at least $10 million is needed to maintain this vital aid program.
The landscape on Haitian streets remains extremely tense and dangerous due to instability and violence. Even places that should be considered safe, such as the Port-au-Prince prison, have escaped more than 90% of their prisoners and are now engulfed in flames. In addition, major gangs have taken control of the international airport, making access to the island difficult. This raises serious concerns about the safety of the Haitian population.
The chaos and instability in Haiti has intensified over the past week, with interim Prime Minister Ariel Henry finally agreeing to resign and leave the country. In response to the recent escalation of violence, the government declared a state of emergency and imposed a curfew in the Occidental department, where Port-au-Prince is located.
