Haiti: help after tanker fireball horror

A petrol tanker which crashed, overturned and exploded – unleashing a fireball killing 90 – is the latest in a series of tragedies for Haiti, after which Christian agency MAF has helped bring disaster relief.

The Mission Aviation Fellowship has been at the forefront of assisting in the wake of this most recent traumatic event – only a short while after starting to wind up its humanitarian response to an earthquake which had claimed 2,200 lives a few months earlier. When the devastating 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti’s western peninsula on 14 August 2021, causing major damage and destroying tens of thousands of homes, MAF personnel responded immediately.
