Haiti storms

20 October 2008


Christian Aid partners are at the forefront as rebuilding work begins in storm-hit Haiti.

In September, hurricanes Gustav and Ike and tropical storms Fay and Hanna hit Haiti and left more than 600 dead and up to a million homeless.

One partner, Veterimed, was able to deliver help quickly and safely because of its close ties to the community. It was able to identify the most vulnerable people, helping them before disease and hunger took more lives.

Veterimed also organised the distribution of rice, beans, cooking oil, matches, dried fish and corn meal.

This assistance means families are able to survive until they can grow their own food and rear their own livestock again.
