Haiti: Food Security - The world has forgotten Haiti, a World Food Programme Executive said

KREYOL: Haiti - Mezanmi... PEYI a gen GRANGOU wi... e sanble bagay yo pwal pi rèd nan jou k ap vini la yo... Kisa ou panse de sa???

In a recent article by Reuters, it was revealed that millions of people in Haiti face food insecurity including 1.5 million who do not know what or when their next meal will be.

Haitians farmers rely on the rainy season to plant their crops, when there's no rain, there's no crop... The worse part of this is the fact that starving Haitians on the countryside resort to cutting down trees for charcoal to earn a living in an already deforested Haiti.

What do you think about that?
