The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced a $10 million humanitarian aid package for Haiti, where over 1.5 million individuals have been displaced due to political instability and gang violence. Through the Emirates Red Crescent Authority, the aid will focus on providing immediate food supplies and temporary shelter to those most affected.
In addition to addressing immediate needs, the program will also bolster health services, water, sanitation, and hygiene provisions. These efforts aim to alleviate the rising humanitarian crisis in Haiti, characterized by escalating violence, insecurity, and the deterioration of essential services. According to latest international data, half of the displaced population are children, while millions face food insecurity.
The relief program will be implemented in collaboration with UAE missions overseas, international organizations, and humanitarian entities. Aid workers will identify priorities to ensure that aid reaches those most in need.
