  • Water filtration tanks that would provide orphans with clean water during a cholera epidemic have been stuck at Haiti's main port since Nov. 22, hostage to customs red tape.
  • Haiti's struggle to recover from last January's 7.0 earthquake has been hamstrung by a massive bottleneck at customs. To some, the culprit is corruption, and the solution is to grease the right palms to get products moving to their intended destinations.
  • Haiti has a culture of bureaucratic inefficiency that has been overwhelmed by a tidal wave of incoming charitable goods. The government defends the delays, arguing that some alleged donations are actually intended for sale but disguised as aid by opportunists who hope to maximize profits by avoiding Haiti's enormous import fees.

  • Cholera is most likely to be found and spread in places with inadequate water treatment, poor sanitation, and inadequate hygiene
  • Shellfish eaten raw have been a source of cholera
  • The disease is not likely to spread directly from one person to another; therefore, casual contact with an infected person is not a risk for becoming ill.

  • Approximately one in 20 (5%) infected persons will have severe disease characterized by profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, and leg cramps.
  • What is the treatment for cholera?
  • Patients can be treated with oral rehydration solution, a prepackaged mixture of sugar and salts to be mixed with water and drunk in large amounts. This solution is used throughout the world to treat diarrhea. Severe cases also require intravenous fluid replacement. With prompt rehydration, fewer than 1% of cholera patients die.

  • Anger over the cost of food got to be too much for hundreds of people who took to the streets across Haiti in protest in early April, burning tires and forcing businesses to shut down.
  • At least four people died.
  • The cost of basic food staples, including rice, beans and corn, has increased by an average of 50 percent in recent months in the Caribbean nation.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The rise can be attributed to overall food prices on the world market, compounded here by the consequences of two devastating tropical storms last year and soaring transportation costs.
  • The crisis reaches all levels of society. But the very poorest are paying the highest price. These are the people in urban and rural areas, where unemployment is rampant, who can barely find enough to eat even in the best of times.
  • As food prices increase, desperation is spreading among the poor and working poor all the way up to the working class,
  • Imported rice has become one of the most important staples in Haiti, which only produces about 20 percent of the rice Haitians consume.
  • CRS has committed an initial $150,000 to support our food distribution partners in urban areas of Haiti.
  • That money is in addition to the $7 million worth of food CRS is already distributing to organizations throughout the country that care for thousands of Haiti's poorest and most vulnerable groups, including orphans, the elderly and people living with HIV.
  • With more than 50 years of experience in Haiti, CRS is now one of the largest U.S. humanitarian organizations working in the country.
