Godt en måned efter jordskælvet i Haiti, 12. januar 2010, varsler FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) og CARE international om en langsigtet truende mangel på fødevarer i det plagede land.
– This is a hidden but pervasive crisis that has already touched all corners of the country, says Dick Trenchard, Assessments Coordinator for FAO in Haiti.
INTERNE FLYGTNINGE
Rural areas experiencing the highest levels of displacement from the capital, Port-au-Prince, and surrounding areas are the most affected.
Particularly the Artibonite in the west and Grand’Anse in the south.

Rapid assessments undertaken by FAO and its partners in the Agriculture Cluster have shown that “host families” caring for displaced people are spending their meagre savings to feed new arrivals and consuming food stocks.
In many cases these poor people are resorting to eating the seeds they have stored for the next planting season and eating or selling their livestock, in particular goats.
