#Haiti#Crisis, March 7th, 2024 -Reaching vulnerable Haitians has become more difficult now that Haiti’s atmosphere has grown more toxic with increased gang activity. However, humanitarian organizations have not given up, using every window available to deliver aid to the displaced Haitians. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), in a report, The World Food Programme and its partners have delivered over 7,600 meals to displaced Haitians currently  living in four displacement sites and The International Organization for Migration has distributed emergency shelter material to almost 650 families. The OCHA also informed that the health system and health response are barely in operation with at least 3 main hospitals under forced closure along with several other health facilities, some of which have limited operations due to lack of medicine, employees and violence.
