Torrential rains severely impacted the Gonaïves region, home to 300,000 people and located in northwestern Haiti.

Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean. It had already been severely affected by heavy rains in 2004; thousands of people perished.

Some projects carried out by our partner organizations have been affected.
