Russell: Haiti Is a Horrific Situation, Looking Like a Scene Out of Mad Max

EXCERPT:

RUSSELL: "Haiti is a horrific situation. I was there several months ago. There was so much violence even then, and there were gangs who were controlling parts of the capital. Now they've basically taken over the capital. They've taken over the airport. What that means for people is that we can't get aid in, again, it's very difficult for us to do that. Many, many people there are suffering from serious hunger and malnutrition, and we're not able to get enough aid to them. It's — it's almost like — it's like a scene out of 'Mad Max,' honestly. That's what it seems like. Gangs, vigilantes responding to the gangs. I mean, somehow we need to get more control over that situation so that we can get the humanitarian response in, and so that this, you know, population that has suffered kind of one thing after another over the years, earthquakes, cholera, Covid, I mean it's literally one thing after another for Haiti. And I think right now it's the worst that anyone has seen in decades."
