When headlines fade, hunger will remain: Haiti Update

Aug. 14, 2021 [Save the Children]( ["Millions in Haiti starve as food, blocked by gangs, rots on the ground" – ABC News]( Friend, on August 14, 2021, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti. More than 2,000 were killed, and tens of thousands were left injured, homeless and in crisis. Just two days later, Tropical Depression Grace brought more death and destruction. These disasters, combined with gang violence, extreme poverty and a lack of resources, created a hunger crisis in Haiti that continues to this day. When headlines fade, hunger will remain. A group of generous donors* is matching every gift until midnight tonight to power our team's response to hunger, disaster, violence and other compounding crises – in Haiti and around the world. Your MATCHED support can make a critical difference, friend. [Please, will you rush a gift now to have it go twice as far in helping children grow up healthy, learning and safe?]( [2X THE HEALTH CARE]( [2X THE LEARNING]( [2X THE PROTECTION]( 2-year-old Louna* wasn’t even born when the earthquake struck, but the ramifications have had a huge impact on her life. Her parents have struggled to find work and afford food, and Louna suffered from malnutrition. Her mother Dieunette* sought support from Save the Children health workers in their community, and Louna received high-nutrient peanut paste and treatment. Now, she’s doing much better and has the nutrition she needs to enjoy playing with her siblings. We rely on your support to help children like Louna not only survive but thrive.
