Message of Solidarity and Sympathy with the People of Haiti (15/01/2010)
|
Pax Christi International expresses deep condolences and solidarity with the people of Haiti following the recent earthquake and calls for prayers and prompt support in the relief efforts.
The severe earthquake that struck Haiti and the Dominican Republic has inflicted large-scale damage to hospitals, health facilities, places of worship and church infrastructure. A large number of casualties are feared.
The major earthquake that shocked the Caribbean nation of Haiti on 12 January 2010 has become yet another in a series of natural disasters to hit this already vulnerable country, the poorest in the western hemisphere.
Haiti is a nation that has already suffered from years of humanitarian crises and natural disasters, including a series of hurricanes that battered the country in 2008.
Pax Christi International has two member organisations in Haiti: Pax Christi Port-au-Prince and the Commission Episcopale Nationale Justice et Paix.
