  5. A crisis right in our backyard here in the US and Biden would rather send another 61 billion to Ukraine. He said yesterday that he doesn’t want to look like a heavy hand in Haiti? He’s expecting Kenya to handle this problem? He will only keep the border open for more refugees to enter into the country. Joe Biden is and always has been a weak and useless political leader.

  8. Terrible ! Prayers
    Jesus have mercy on Haiti !
    Also last two days I strongly prayed for Haitian Mothers of the newborn in The Dominican Republic where they have gone for delivery and are denied medical treatment under a Presidential order. They face poverty too.

    Jesus please have mercy.

  11. No calls condemning this gang violence that has gone on for MONTHS by the UN? No calls to send tons of food for the starving population? Hmmm.

  16. So damn heartbreaking!! I'm sure if these people would have asked for what they were seeking, would have gladly been given it. I hope the families and all affected will be able to find some peace in this horrific tragedy. 😢
