Acute hunger will affect half the population of Haiti. This is evidenced by the data published in the latest report on food security prepared by the UN RFP, the national coordination of food security of Haiti and the food and agricultural organization of the United Nations (FAO).
About 5.4 million residents of Haiti, that is, half of the population, are starving. This is one of the highest indicators of the acute lack of food security in the country. At least 6,000 forced immigrants located in temporary shelters in Haiti experience a catastrophic level of lack of food security. This means that they face not only hunger, but also death, poverty and extremely critical level of malnutrition, is noted in the document.
Executive Director of the UN VSP Sinda McCain said that “there can be no safety and stability in Haiti, when millions of people are faced with hunger.”
