The lives of thousands of pregnant women, new mothers and newborn babies are at risk in Haiti as the rainy season sets in, bringing with it the threat of floods, mudslides and deadly diseases.

Even before the earthquake hit in January, killing more than 200,000 people and leaving an estimated 1 million homeless, Haiti ranked among the most dangerous countries in the world to give birth, with one in every 44 women dying during labour or due to complications with a pregnancy.
