On August 18th, Japan and the Organization of American States (OAS) signed a deal. They awarded Haiti a $3 million grant to help register voters. The troubled country prepares to hold general elections for the first time in more than a decade. The money will help Haiti’s government update its voter lists, the OAS said. The funds will also buy 350,000 blank identification cards. Gang violence has forced a record 1.5 million people across Haiti to flee their homes. When armed men attack them in Port-au-Prince and beyond, people must run away so quickly that they leave their IDs and important documents behind. Last month, Haiti’s government began voter registration in Port-au-Prince. It’s estimated that gangs control 70% of the territory there. Officials scheduled the first round of elections for December 13th, but ongoing gang violence could push back the date once again. Haiti has not had a president since Jovenel Moïse was killed in July 2021.
 　

　8 月18 日，日本和美洲國家組織簽署一項協議，向海地提供300 萬美元贈款，以幫助該國進行選民登記。這個飽受紛亂的國家正準備舉行近十多年來的首次大選。
　美洲國家組織表示，這筆資金將幫助海地政府更新選民名單，也將購買35萬張空白身分證。
　幫派暴力已迫使海地境內150 萬人流離失所，創下歷史紀錄。當武裝分子在太子港及其他地區襲擊時，人們緊急逃離，以致於身分證和其他重要文件來不及帶走。上個月，海地政府開始在太子港進行選民登記，估計太子港有70%的領土被幫派控制。
　官方預定的第一輪選舉在12月13日舉行，但持續不斷的幫派暴力事件可能會使選舉日期再延後。
　自2021年7 月摩依士遇害以來，海地一直沒有新總統。
