Haitian Prime Minister Grateful for Cuba’s Assistance.

CUBA, February 19th, 2011.-  Haitian Prime Minister Jean Max Bellerive said Cuba has shown greatness of heart and technical capability in providing assistance to the victims of the January 2010 earthquake and now facing the cholera epidemic.

In an interview with Cuban television, Bellerive said that they know that Cuba “is not a wealthy country, that it has problems of its own, but that nevertheless it has shared its resources with Haiti.”

At a meeting with Cuban Ambassador to Haiti Ricardo Garcia to discuss ongoing cooperation, the Haitian prime minister said that they did not know how to thank the Cuban people and government, and all Cubans there for their assistance.

Bellerive said that the people and government of Haiti are frustrated by the management of reconstruction plans following the January 2010 earthquake that killed more than 300,000 people.

The earthquake also left 1.5 million people displaced and homeless, people who have survived so far in improvised tent camps. (Cubaminrex-RHC)
