Cindy McCain, the executive director of the United Nations’ World Food Program (WFP) sounded the alarm on hunger in Haiti as gang violence rages on in the Caribbean nation.

“It’s catastrophic. We…WFP are still in there, and we are working in the north somewhat and somewhat down towards the center, but it’s a very dicey situation,” McCain said Sunday during an interview on CBS News’s “Face The Nation.” “We are continuing our school feeding programs, but once again, as you’ve seen, there have been evacuations of U.N. personnel out of there.”

Well it likely would not get far past the bank account of whoever is currently in charge.

If the Haitians are that hungry, maybe they can take to eating the freshly killed that now litter their streets.

That would be a twofer.

Haitians can always turn to one another for food.

They could also run Haiti like the Dominican Republic.

This is going to sound like an a$$hole statement. The problem is not hunger. The problem is a complete lack of civilization. To deliver food would require that every person involved was protected by armed security. If not, they’d face kidnapping and possibly murder. Even if there was security, it would need to be overwhelming to ensure the safety of the providers. And they’d probably need to use batons or stun guns to keep everyone from going full BLM on the providers. Even if you air dropped the supplies, history suggests they’d be quickly taken by bad elements and they wouldn’t go to the hungry, but those who were the most powerful. And those people are always fat.

You can’t save everyone, and some people won’t even cooperate in being saved.

She had a first draft with “I am fasting one meal a day and sending the food to the hungry in Haiti.”
Got revised quickly.

All these years when the West sent large shipments of food to various Third World countries the military and dictators intercepted them on the docks or the airfields and it didn’t reach the hungry.

Most of the Haitian Caribbeaners spend $25K for a plane ticket to the Mexico/US boarder so they can get a bag of peanuts on the flight up. Freeloader Advocates LLC. pays for the tickets.

Won’t be long before famine happens in the USA. With 15 million more mouths to feed and since they quit making land, where are the Dems going to get more food?

Talk to your buddies the Clintons about their Haiti gold mine franchise, Sweetie.

Maybe they can contribute a few crumbs. Tax deductibly, of course.

The Markles could add it to their Worldwide Privacy Tour. Give Haiti a few bucks, congratulate themselves endlessly.

That being said, I have a photo of my lovely mother riding a donkey on the streets of Haiti looking at skinny native with a very sympathetic look on her face. Parents went on a Caribbean cruise for their honeymoon, and Haiti was safe enough to be a regular stop.

And Haitians who came over in little boats when I lived in Florida decades ago were mostly hardworking people, doing menial jobs very well. Like most of the rest of the world, Haiti has been on a long slide down since then.

“Dec 6, 2023 — Cindy McCain is an American businesswoman and philanthropist who has a net worth of $400 million.”

Let her spend her own money.
