“We have now distributed more than 1 million meals, with another half a million meals that will be in the impacted areas today,” said Ryan Grabill of Convoy of Hope’s Disaster Services team. “The scene is hard to fathom. The shock of what has happened is beginning to wear off. We continue to work to provide hope in the midst of this great difficulty.”
After the dust settled following the back-to-back disasters that recently impacted Haiti, the scope of the damage became both apparent and harrowing. Recent reports indicate that the earthquake claimed more than 2,100 lives, injured more than 12,000 survivors, and displaced at least 30,000 families.
Convoy’s response will continue as we provide much-needed relief to Haitians affected by these disasters.
