 Israel Helps Haiti with Medical Care & Agriculture
Ever since a horrendous earthquake hit Haiti three years ago, the Israel-based relief organization known as ‘IsraAID’ has been working on the ground in Haiti in order to assist the population that lives there. Despite the passage of time, Haitians have not fully recovered from the trauma that they endured when an earthquake struck their country.
In Haiti, over 300,000 Haitians are still living in tent cities instead of homes. While this still is an improvement, since 1.5 million people were left homeless following the earthquake, the fact that so many Haitians still lack a place to live demonstrates that Haiti is still very much in need of international assistance and there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to help these natural disaster victims.
