An earthquake shook Haiti in August. Then came strong winds and pelting rain. People needed food and water.
U.S. troops brought supplies. Many of the boxes said “MannaPack” on them. They were full of food.
Read More: Haiti is a poor island country in the Caribbean Sea. The earthquake was strong. It destroyed nearly everything people living in mountain villages had. It was hard for help to get to them. Marines based in North Carolina flew to Haiti. They brought tents, tarps, water, and food. “MannaPacks” were among those items. That “manna” was donated by a Christian ministry called “Feed My Starving Children.” Psalm 78:24 says God “rained down” on His people “the grain of heaven.” Read the story of God’s miracle food for His people in Exodus 16.
