 PUERTO PRINCIPE, 5 septiembre 2008 (AFP) - Haití esperaba el viernes ayuda internacional de urgencia para socorrer a miles de afectados por los ciclones Gustav y Hanna, que causaron unas 200 muertes, mientras se temía que el huracán Ike pudiera azotar la isla en los próximos días.
"Haití pidió oficialmente asistencia internacional", indicó el viernes Elisabeth Byrs, portavoz en Ginebra de la oficina de coordinación de los asuntos humanitarios de la ONU. "La ONU está preparando un llamado de emergencia internacional" para recaudar fondos, agregó.

Many families are living in an extreme misery.

 Dear Fellow Vincentians,
Typhoon Frank hit our country last June 19 and left thousands of families homeless in Panay island, in the country’s Visayas Region. It was reportedly the worst disaster that has ever struck the region. The SSVP National Council responded by sending financial assistance for the immediate basic needs of the victims in Iloilo, Roxas, Aklan and Antique, the 4 provinces in Panay island. Almost one thousand bags containing basic needs for immediate sustenance were distributed to poor families.
