Families in Haiti's rural communities are struggling to cope with the influx of people seeking refuge from destruction in the capital city of Port-au-Prince. These communities are at risk of chronic food and water shortages and lack of adequate shelter as the rainy season approaches -- burdens that could lead to more displacement and deeper poverty as resources are rapidly depleted.
"Haiti's rural communities were already struggling to make ends meet before the earthquake," said Jean-Claude Mukadi, relief response manager for World Vision in Haiti. "Now, as people continue to arrive in these communities, joining the hundreds of thousands who have already fled, they are all looking for food, water, and shelter. It's critical that efforts are put into place to help the families who were already living in these areas, as well as those who are displaced from their homes."
