Policy change due to the “better” conditions in Haiti are false. After Hurricane Matthew it is clear that the region cannot handle the environmental strain and devastation alone. Both Haitians and Americans alike are urging the US and Mexico to let the migrants stay.

Great podcast of PBS San Diego. Giving a first hand listen which gives voice to both Tijuana residents and Haitian migrants.

Shelter has become one of the biggest strains for both the Mexican Government and the Haitian people. Because policy has been reversed the conditions in which Haitian migrants have been living in are deplorable. The surge of people and aid is unavoidable. It is time to help, not ignore.

The issue is not that Haitians are trekking North, it’s about the lack of resources and information

In the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, which struck Haiti on October 4th, four teams from MSF are assessing the needs at medical facilities and affected communities in five departments of the country: Grande Anse, Sud, Nippes, Artibonite and Nord-Ouest. Access to the affected areas is difficult and the full scale and nature of the needs have yet to be determined. Haitian officials report a death toll in the hundreds that continues to rise. The risk of cholera is very high in affected areas.
