Haiti - Social : Risk of eviction for 300 families within 48 hours 27/05/2012 10:13:46 No court order for the eviction or any other legal notice has ever been presented and there has been no adequate consultation with the families or any offer of provision of alternative housing. The residents of Camp Mormon live in improvised shelters, and the camp has poor sanitary conditions and no running water. The camp’s population includes a number of women who are pregnant or have recently given birth, and the majority of families are headed by women. The families living in Camp Mormon were among the hundreds of thousands who had been left homeless after January 12, 2010 and who had no alternative but to make their own shelters wherever they could. 28 months later, they are among the nearly half a million people still living in makeshift camps where their rights to adequate housing and access to basic services are denied. Internally displaced persons in at least 60% of the camps are under threat of forced evictions. Thousands of families have already been forcibly evicted since January 2010 without any due process and were made homeless once more. Durable solutions to provide adequate housing to those affected are slow to be implemented. HL/ HaitiLibre
