March 31, 2010 (LPAC)One week before tomorrow's U.N. Donors Conference on Haiti, the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance (OCHA) announced that the policy, for now, is that mass relocation of the 1.3 million-and-up Haitians displaced by the earthquake shall be carried out only as a "last resort," and for only a small number of people. According to media reports, that policy is supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development, and others.
To not relocate people quickly to decent, sanitary shelters built on high ground, is a policy of mass murder, Lyndon LaRouche charged on Feb. 22, in a statement calling for the Obama administration to offer the aid of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to the Haitian government to carry out such a relocation. When such a policy was later proposed to the White House, it was rejected out of hand.
Now mass death is at hand. Former President Bill Clinton warned on March 25 that 20-40,000 lives are at stake, if they are not relocated now. On March 28, Haiti's Ambassador to the U.S., Raymond Joseph, called for international aid in quickly relocating a half-million of those living in displaced camps.
The same aid agencies adopting the "last resort" relocation policy, themselves, admit that 250,000 individuals are at "high risk" of flooding or mudslides in the makeshift camps where they now live, and their contingency planning estimates that 1.8 million across the country are at risk in the rainy and hurricane seasons about to hit. Meanwhile, the Pan American Health Organization reported last week "a constant increase in suspect cases of malaria" reported to them.
Instead of the mass relocation required, the policy adopted, as of now, is to help 60% of the displaced people around Port-au-Prince to return to their homes in rubble-filled, dysfunctional neighborhoods, if the homes are deemed safe, or, if not, to tents outside those homes. Another 10% are to be piled in with "host" families. Some are to remain where they are, in sites considered safe from flooding (! in tents?? under plastic?? with latrines?). Relocation to newly constructed sites is to be carried out only as "a last resort."
