It’s nearly midnight. I have just got out of my car after doing a radio interview with the BBC about the latest chaotic situation unfolding in Haiti. Today I had some good news to report: it had been a somewhat normal Sunday. A brief reprieve amid a tornado of violence.
In early March, the government declared a state of emergency as this violence escalated in the capital Port-au-Prince. More than 360,000 people are now displaced within Haiti.1 The health system is near to collapse, and hunger is spreading.
