“In the coming hours, we are expecting a tropical storm that has already activated red alerts in neighboring Dominican Republic,” explained Marcelo Viscarra, World Vision’s national director in Haiti. “Thousands of people remain in the streets as they search for loved ones and try to collect a few of their belongings under the rubble,” he added.<\/p>\n
Recent reports account for 1297 dead and 2000 injured. Hundreds are still missing.<\/p>\n
The relief agency will focus its efforts on providing water, hygiene goods, nutrition and shelter for affected families. World Vision has already sent nutrition kits and hygiene goods from its prepositioned warehouses in the Dominican Republic to be distributed.<\/p>\n
“We are assessing the needs of many orphanages, which might urge support to provide emotional and psycho-social protection to vulnerable children,” said Viscarra. World Vision sent today a team to ground zero to coordinate and evaluate the most pressing needs of families, especially those with children.<\/p>\n
Haiti, the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, experienced prior to yesterday’s earthquake intense social and political unrest. Severe humanitarian access constraints and the fragile security situation greatly complicate the humanitarian response in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
“We will not give up in our efforts to reach the most vulnerable, nor will we let this crisis die out with time. We are committed to vulnerable families who are expecting the arrival of food, hygiene goods and temporary shelter to survive,” said Joao Diniz, Regional Leader of World Vision in Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
World Vision Haiti, the government and NGO partners are working closely to conduct post-impact damage and needs assessments to activate rapid response mechanisms.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]About <\/strong>World Vision<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong>
