Hunger in Haiti reaches famine levels as gangs squeeze life out of the capital and beyond

A new report has found that nearly 6,000 people in Haiti are starving, with nearly half the country’s population of more than 11 million people experiencing crisis levels of hunger or worse, as gang violence smothers life in the capital of Port-au-Prince and beyond.

US has given them well over over 100 million dollars in the last 6 months + aid packages.
Disgusting on many levels.
Certainly they can afford to feed themselves.

But money alone doesn't feed people. There is no food distribution infrastructure, so how can what aid there is get to the people? The only good thing is that outside Port au Prince there is quite a lot of agriculture and presumably they can still produce some food in those areas.

They figured out how to get all of those guns and ammo in there so they can figure out how to get some food and water in there too.

Maybe they should get the UN in there and try to fix that.

Oh wait, they did try that , didn't they?

It is sad that in this day and age that this has to happen but yet it happens all over the world.

As long as the gangs have their money and food, nothing will change. The regular people will pay the price. It certainly makes is desirable for a young person to join the gangs as there you are fed and wealthy.
