HUNGER IN HAITI
The World Food Program has called it a “silent tsunami,” a natural disaster that kills children quietly from the inside-out. In Haiti, recent rises in global food prices and the natural disasters of 2008 and 2010 have left hundreds of thousands of people malnourished and without enough food. For children, the consequences of malnutrition are alarmingly dire.
in 10 Haitian children die of malnutrition or preventable illness before kindergarten.
Roughly a quarter of children in Haiti suffer from chronic malnutrition, and 9 percent of children have acute malnutrition.
