Operational Summary:
World Vision is supplying families in Port-au-Prince with rations of water, food, and other emergency items including hygiene kits, tarps, blankets and water containers. It has set up mobile clinics and is providing urgently needed medical supplies to hospitals. Children are a main focus of Word Vision’s response in any disaster, with Child-Friendly Spaces where they can rest, play and begin to have psychological trauma addressed in a safe environment. An operations center on the border at Jimani is working to help support the influx of displaced Haitians now in that area. World Vision will continue to respond to longer-term impacts in rural areas and communities across Haiti, where the agency has worked for over 30 years.
