Ban calls on global community to stand with Haiti on eve of 6th anniversary of earthquake
“United and in solidarity with all Haitians who have lost loved ones to this catastrophe, we honour the memory of our colleagues,” said Ban in a statement issued by his Spokesperson.
“The path to recovery and long-term development is not an easy one. Many Haitians continue to face multiple challenges, including displacement, food insecurity and lack of access to clean water and sanitation,” he continued, stressing that Haiti remains in need of international support.
Reaffirming the continued commitment of the United Nations to support the Haitian people, the world body’s chief underlined that while victims of the tragedy are honoured, the commemoration must be a “source of renewed inspiration and a call to unite behind a vision for a stable, democratic and prosperous future for Haiti.”
