After years of natural disasters, economic downturns and political turmoil, food insecurity in Haiti is reaching unprecedented levels. Most of the population can’t afford to buy food. According to the UN disaster relief organization OCHA, the cost of the most basic staples in Haiti — rice, wheat flour, maize, beans, sugar and vegetable oil — jumped 34% this year alone. OCHA is predicting that things will only get worse. They estimate that 40% of Haitians will face food insecurity by March. For least 1 in 10, food insecurity will reach “emergency levels.”
