Haiti is a tiny island nation that can't seem to catch a break. Hurricane Matthew devastated the nation, propelling concerns of impending famine and cholera outbreaks into its remote, hard-to-access regions.
As of Tuesday, Haiti's death toll reached at least 1,000 people as a result of being hit by Hurricane Matthew, but the worst could be yet to come, according to some experts. The United Nations has appealed for $120 million for three months of emergency funding, $70 million of which would go to water, sanitation and medical efforts.
On Tuesday, Haiti's interim president Jocelerme Privert confirmed the need for emergency, calling the loss "amazing," and adding, "the concern is if we don't take action now for the longer impact ... three to four months when the foods stop coming we are going to have a real famine."
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told reporters on Monday that "some towns and villages have been almost wiped off the map. Crops and food reserves have been destroyed."
Comment: Children don't understand the dangers because of their increased exposure to sexual imagery at early ages, which literally teaches them to be prey for pedophiles. Many have access to pornography at a very young and impressionable age, further pressuring them to live up to unrealistic interpretations of sex. Not only are they being targeted online, but face out of control sexual harassment in schools.
