Israel helps refugee kids in Haiti

JERUSALEM — IsraAID has opened a child education centre in the Petionville Refugee Camp, the largest refugee camp in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince.

The centre is housed in tents donated by the Israel Defence Forces that had served the IDF field hospital. Up to 250 children at time can use centre.

The Israeli team is also providing medical-post trauma treatment to thousands of refugees in the camp, working closely with other agencies.

Since the earthquake hit Haiti, three IsraAID member teams have been operating in various locations in Port-au-Prince providing emergency medical aid, post trauma and relief distribution assistance.
