A key international aid organization is slashing its food assistance program in Haiti, leaving 100,000 people without food aid they had previously counted on.

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) announced Monday that budget shortfalls forced the cuts, even as conditions in Haiti continue to deteriorate.

According to WFP, 4.9 million Haitians – out of a population of 11.4 million – don’t have enough to eat, and 750,000 are in dire need of food assistance.

The WFP’s operation in Haiti is 16 percent funded, according to the organization, making it all but impossible to reach its target of providing food aid to 2.3 million people.

“Needs are peaking and Haiti is experiencing a brush with famine. What we need to be doing is not cut back but provide more assistance,” said Jean-Martin Bauer, WFP Country Director for Haiti, according to The Guardian.

To fulfill its mission in Haiti in 2023, the WFP “urgently requires US$121 million.”

Ambassador Dan Foote, the Biden administration’s former special envoy for Haiti, slammed the WFP over its announcement.

“If the World Food Programme cannot provide nutritional support to Haitians in their country’s current, deplorable situation, why does it even exist? The international community is largely responsible for Haiti’s catastrophe, yet the whites aren’t helping Haitians in their time of absolute need,” said Foote.

“If WFP needs leadership that’s unafraid to do the right thing, they can call me,” added Foote, who in 2021 resigned his post over the Biden administration’s deportations to Haiti.

Foote and Haitian advocates have also been sharply critical of the administration’s continued support of Ariel Henry, the country’s acting president and prime minister.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken earlier this month said the United States has given nearly $100 million in security assistance to Henry’s government since 2021.
