Haiti - Humanitarian : Food For The Poor is helping Haitians returning home
While the number of voluntary return in the country of Haitians from the Dominican Republic exceeded 20,000 people since June 18, the relief and development organization Food For The Poor (FFP) is responding to an urgent request for help from its Haiti office, to help meet the needs of an influx of people arriving from the Dominican Republic.

"This is a matter of great concern for all of us, and it is heading toward a serious humanitarian crisis," said Bishop Ogé Beauvoir, Executive Director of FFP-Haiti. "Our charity has committed to support 700 deported in two very remote areas of the Southeast Department called Pascado and Tête-à-Eau."

Aid is being distributed from the FFP-Haiti warehouse in Port-au-Prince, and from a second distribution center in Cap-Haitien, where the need also is growing. In the first delivery of support, the charity is sending rice meals, rice, shoes, kerosene stoves, blankets and baby supplies. Six containers of relief at the port there also will be distributed shortly.

Food For The Poor staff are working to secure rehydration salts to treat sickness, rice meals, beans, corn meal, baby supplies, along with dishes and eating utensils. Bleach, and other cleaning supplies are needed to fight a resurgence of cholera and other threats of disease.
