So far, 20,000 children have received high-energy biscuits so far, and Action Against Hunger UK are reaching more people on a daily basis

400,000 litres of water are being distributed every day, providing access to safe drinking water to some 100,000 people. Every day, more water points are being set up in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas.

Hundreds of breast-feeding mothers receive nutritional and psychological support in our baby tents, which have been set up amongst the makeshift tent cities all over Port-au-Prince

Sanitation is an immediate priority. The rainy season is about to start and sanitation problems can quickly turn into a health disaster. Our teams are working round-the-clock to set up latrines, dig trenches and implement hygiene-promotion sessions

We currently have some 40 international staff and 250 national staff in Port-au-Prince, plus an additional 50 colleagues in Gonaives and Port de Paix

The media spotlight has moved on: but our teams continue to make a life-saving difference every day.

Action Against Hunger has launched a public emergency appeal.
