Since the powerful magnitude-7.0 earthquake struck Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010, the small Caribbean nation has consistently made it on the list of countries in need of significant humanitarian assistance.
This changed in 2015.
For the first time since 2010, the United Nations is no longer issuing a humanitarian action plan for Haiti. Instead, the global body, together with the government and other development actors, is working on a transitional appeal that would cover humanitarian, as well as recovery and resilience-related interventions for the period 2015-2016.
