The UN’s top humanitarian official in Haiti warned on Tuesday that current support is falling short and that available funds could be exhausted before the end of the month.
UN Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Tom Fletcher, made a brief one day visit to Port-au-Prince to assess the worsening humanitarian crisis.
His mission focused on evaluating the impact of rampant gang violence, which has already claimed thousands of lives and forced more than a million people from their homes.
Fletcher began his visit with a stop at one of the hundreds of makeshift shelters now home to some of the 1.3 million Haitians displaced by escalating gang activity, according to the latest UN report.
