Little girl in Delmas 5 displaced persons camp

A little girl stands next to a beam of light that shines through the dusty air in Delmas 5 displaced persons camp in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Within the camp there is a lack of food due to non-existent food assistance, limited and ill-equipped toilets, no showers and a significant need for basic items such as clothes, shoes and proper shelter, including plastic sheeting to protect from the rain and heat and mattresses to sleep on.

Additional Information / Shotlist Amid ongoing violence and escalating armed clashes between armed groups in Port-au-Prince over the past months, thousands of vulnerable people – including children, families and people with disabilities – have been either violently removed from their homes or forced to flee for their safety. While some have sought refuge with friends and family, many others have been forced to flee to informal displaced person camps.

MSF is present in three of these camps– Delmas 103, St. Yves Delmas 5 and Solino. In all three camps the unsanitary conditions and over-crowding are a major health concern. Additionally there is a lack of food, limited and ill equipped toilets and showers, as well as other basic needs such as clothes, shoes and proper shelter, including tarps to protect from the rain and mattresses to sleep on.
