Video duration 29 minutes 00 seconds
Haiti is sinking into a deepening crisis – never ending for its long-suffering people.
Senior UN officials say political instability, gang wars, poverty and the effects of recent natural disasters such as earthquakes have left the people of Haiti in urgent need of help.

And what is the international community doing to help?
