Believe it or not – and chances are you haven’t even heard about this on the news – but famine conditions in Haiti have become even MORE catastrophic in the past few months.
The latest data reveals that nearly half of all Haitians do not have enough to eat; 2 million of those are facing critical, emergency levels of hunger and acute food insecurity; and 6,000+ are now experiencing catastrophic levels of true famine conditions.
To make matters worse, northern Haiti – the Cap Haitien area in particular – was hit by torrential rains and catastrophic flooding just a couple weeks ago. The photo below is of the Blue Hills Church of Christ in Cap Haitian, a place where a number of us have visited and have friends and loved ones there:
The Christians at Blue Hills and their entire community were completely underwater for days – cold and hungry, without even a dry place to sleep.
Working through See Him Ministries, our trusted ministry partner in the Cap Haitien area, The Haiti Fund was able to help supply 165 of the neediest families with a month’s worth of basic food staples (rice, beans, and oil – photo at top).
Huge thanks to all of you who’ve continued contributing to our Disaster Relief Fund, and to our ongoing support of the St Michel Orphanage – without all your love, prayers, and financial assistance, none of this would be possible.
