Description
Haiti, where nearly 59% of the population lives below the poverty line, grapples with deep-seated challenges, ranking 163rd out of 191 countries on the 2021 Human Development Index. A resurgence of cholera in October 2022 exacerbates the crisis, unfolding against a backdrop of political turmoil, severe poverty, socio-economic upheaval, and natural disasters. Rampant gang-related violence and fuel shortages further compound the humanitarian crisis, disrupting vital services, including healthcare and education. Millions face malnutrition, displacement, and acute hunger. While rebuilding efforts falter after the 2021 earthquake, more than 250,000 children remain without adequate schools, underscoring the urgency of international assistance and support for the Haitian people
