In an increasingly polarized and complex world, where more and more people struggle to meet their basic needs, this shared commitment to humanity is more than just a guiding principle – it is a lifeline. This is particularly true in Haiti, which is facing several crises, compounded by poverty, armed violence and limited access to essential services.
In the past year, the humanitarian situation reached a grim milestone, with more than a million people forced to flee their homes in Port-au-Prince in search of safety. In some areas, people have been completely cut off – no one enters or leaves – and the schools, pharmacies and medical facilities have been looted, burned or destroyed.
