The security situation in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas has deteriorated significantly as violence by armed gangs against the people of Haiti continues to escalate. Lawlessness and a lack of protection has limited people's access to essential services, including hospitals and schools. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced in their search for security.
The people of Haiti have faced a multitude of challenges over the years—political and economic crises compounded by recurring natural disasters such as hurricanes, flooding and earthquakes. Currently, nearly 5.5 million Haitians are in need of humanitarian aid.
CRS is building on our long-standing programming in Haiti and the dedication of our Haitian staff and partners to provide critical emergency assistance outside the capital where thousands of people are vulnerable.
Your help is urgently needed for families affected by the violence in Haiti. Your gifts will help provide vital humanitarian assistance now, as well as to support people’s evolving needs in this rapidly changing context.
Despite the instability in the capital city, CRS’ teams in the south and north continue to ensure access to food, water, agricultural support, education and counseling care. Your gifts at this critical time will also ensure that CRS is able to meet new and anticipated needs of those impacted by the recent violence.
Your prayers and support will make so much difference. Please give a vital gift today!
