Juan Antonio Cruz Serrano, permanent observer of the Holy See at the Organisation of American States (OAS), described the situation in Haiti as "dramatic", as reported by the Vatican News portal.
The population is suffering from insecurity, poverty and the ongoing violence by various armed groups.
In fact, the hardship is taking on ever greater proportions: In the past few months alone, thousands of people have died because of the prevailing gang violence.
Around 1.3 million - more than ten per cent of the population - have had to leave their homes.
In addition, the neighbouring Dominican Republic is deporting Haitian refugees back to their home country.
Recently, Pope Leo XIV had already called for "the concrete support of the international community" to help Haiti.
The country has been in a serious internal political crisis for years.
Following the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021, criminal gangs expanded their power and have been terrorising the population ever since.
Almost half of the population, around 4.9 million people, do not have enough to eat to survive in good health, according to the latest reports from UN circles.
