iciHaiti - Humanitarian : The IFRC helps the Haitian Red Cross
More than 320,000 Swiss francs (± equivalent in US) have been released from an International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) emergency fund to help the Haiti Red Cross Society respond to violent civil unrest in the country.

Large protests have been held across the country since the start of 2019, and a state of economic emergency was declared on 5 February.

IFRC has made 321,861 Swiss francs available from its Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Haiti Red Cross’ humanitarian operation, which will help 5,500 of the most vulnerable people affected by the crisis.

Walter Cotte, Director of IFRC’s Regional Office for the Americas, said "Our priority is to ensure that the Haiti Red Cross is able to help as many people as possible with food, water and basic medical services during this emergency."

"The Haiti Red Cross is neutral and impartial, and its volunteers and staff are from the communities affected by the unrest. They are best placed to know where and how to help people in need, and have been actively responding since the outset."
