If we just left them alone then the situation would reach an equilibrium, but instead we keep sending more aid in the "attempt" to help people when all we are doing is prolonging the misery.

Unfortunately in Haiti's case... they can barely grow any food. There was an excellent article in a recent National Geographic about soil. Due to deforestation in Haiti, the country has lost much of its topsoil and it ability to grow their own food. It is not something they can get back.

If Haiti were left alone, equilibrium could come after the majority of the country's population died from starvation.
