iciHaiti - Humanitarian : Supply of essential supplies increasingly difficult
"The procurement of essential supplies, including food and medicines, is becoming increasingly challenging with the international airport closed, main ports barely functioning and roads leading out of Haiti's capital blocked [and controlled by gangs].

The availability of fuel has also become a pressing issue, with prices soaring on the black market and transportation costs on the rise," says the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

Despite ongoing unrest and attacks by armed groups in Haiti, the World Food Program (WFP) has stepped up its operations to help communities affected by the violence. Tuesday April 23, 2024, WFP and its partners distributed 3,000 hot meals to displaced people in Port-au-Prince. They also provided 216,000 school meals containing fresh local vegetables in other departments, and 5,000 food rations in the south of the country.

Since the beginning of March, WFP and its local partners have distributed more than 746,000 hot meals to more than 89,000 people who have had to flee because of the violence in Port-au-Prince. Many children and women, forced to leave home, work or school, rely on this support.
