As World Hunger Day shines a global spotlight on food insecurity, Haiti is grappling with its most severe hunger crisis in decades. Over 50% of the Caribbean nation's population—nearly 5 million people—now face acute food shortages, with thousands at risk of starvation. 🌾🚨
CGTN reporter Harold Isaac describes scenes of desperation in Port-au-Prince: 'Families are skipping meals for days, children are begging for scraps, and farmers watch crops wither under economic collapse and climate shocks.' The crisis stems from soaring inflation, political instability, and recurring natural disasters that have crippled food production.
💡 Did you know? Haiti imports over 50% of its food, leaving it vulnerable to global price spikes. Youth-led community kitchens and UN aid deliveries are racing against time, but funding gaps threaten relief efforts.
This isn't just a local emergency—it's a wake-up call for global food systems. As one activist told us: 'When Haiti's hungry, the world's conscience should be too.' 📢
