Want to donate or volunteer to assist Haitian refugees? Here's how to help

After another devastating earthquake and the assassination of President Jovenel Moise, many Haitian refugees are seeking asylum in the United States. The 7.2 magnitude earthquake last month left thousands dead amongst an already fragile country still recovering from damage done by an earthquake 10 years ago.

More than 14,500 migrants, the vast majority of them Hatian, are staying in poor conditions under a bridge by the Texas, Mexico border, with state and federal authorities trying to mobilize to move them as soon as possible. Many are being relocated and others have been put on deportation flights back to Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital.

In the camp, there is limited access to food and water, while trash piles expand to 10 feet wide. Haitian immigrants have limited options, face the risk of deportation to the country that they left or return to Mexico. Some refugees have told reporters that they are afraid to return to Haiti.

Those scenes and viral videos have left many voicing concern for what people are calling "inhumane" expulsion of Haitian immigrants. Even causing Ambassador Daniel Foote, a Special Envoy for Haiti, to resign after only two months in the position.

While international law protects the right to seek asylum, the U.S. is still enforcing Title 41, which allows for rapid expulsions without the opportunity to seek asylum.

Here are some organizations and aid efforts people can contribute to in order to help Haitian refugees.
