SOUNDBITE (English) Jean Martin Bauer, director of the World Food Programme in Haiti: \"Gangs control large areas of Port-au-Prince, and they control the exits of Port-au-Prince through Martissant, the road leading east to the Dominican Republic and the road leading north to Gonaives and Au Cap (Cap-Haïtien). This is causing problems with food markets, with livelihoods and with food security.\" 20. Bauer\'s hands 21. SOUNDBITE (English) Jean Martin Bauer, director of the World Food Program in Haiti: \"I think the assessment that we\'ve made is that 1.3 million people in Haiti are what we call stage 4, phase 4, of food insecurity, that is emergency. That is the last phase before phase 5 which is the most extreme phase of food insecurity - what we call famine.\" ASSOCIATED PRESS: Jean-Rabel - 4 August 2022 22. People walking away pulling donkeys loaded with food donations STORYLINE: More than one million people are at risk of falling into famine in Haiti according to the World Food Programme, as the UN agency\'s donations brought respite to a drought-stricken town in the country\'s northwest. In Jean-Rabel, farmer Marie Gracie Joseph says the supplies including rice, beans and cooking oil will help to support her family after the steady searing heat destroyed her crops. \"Sometimes we did not have any money and we had to go to someone else\'s house to borrow it. With this food we don\'t need to borrow,\" she said. For Marie Grace it was an hour, but some from the community surrounding Jean-Rabel walked for five hours to collect their share of the donations. According to the WFP, 1.3 million Haitians are under food emergency, a situation made worse by the widespread violence in Port-au-Prince where gangs have taken control of large parts of the capital. Gang violence has made it impossible for donations to reach parts of the capital itself and parts of the country that have come to depend on those donations, explained Jean Martin Bauer, the director of the WFP in Haiti. Traders have had to obtain supplies from other regions of the country or resort to imported products to ensure the availability of basic foodstuffs that most can\'t afford to buy.
