Haiti fuel tanks are mostly dry as all Haiti’s fuel is imported. When their president was assassinated the government was left with no elected leaders. Violent gangs run Port-au-Prince and control major ports where fuel enters. One gallon of black market gas costs nearly £24. Inflation is rife. The earthquake on 6 June caused flooding that displaced 13,000 Haitians and killed fifty. Many organisations use generators to operate because no electricity is available; but some hospitals and schools are closing down because they have neither fuel nor generators. One impactful radio outreach is a live midday Christian prayer programme where Haitians can call or message prayer requests. They’re praying for Haiti. A ministry leader said, ‘I’ve seen people pray for their country before, but I’ve never seen people pray like Haitians do. They’re looking to God to meet daily needs, provide comfort, heal, and intervene in Haiti to do what only He can do.’
