The quake, centered about 15 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, had a magnitude of 7.0. A series of strong aftershocks have followed. The damage is severe and catastrophic. It is estimated that 3 million people, approximately one third of the overall population, have been affected by the earthquake. The Government of Haiti is reporting an estimated 112,000 deaths and 194,000 injured. In the immediate wake of the earthquake, President Preval described conditions in his country as “unimaginable,” and appealed for international assistance. As immediate needs are met and the humanitarian relief operation continues, the government is struggling to restore the institutions needed for it to function, ensure political stability, and address long-term reconstruction and development planning. Prior to the earthquake, the international community was providing extensive development and humanitarian assistance to Haiti. With that assistance, the Haitian government had made significant progress in recent years in many areas of its development strategy. The destruction of Haiti’s nascent infrastructure and other extensive damage caused by the earthquake will set back Haiti’s development significantly. Haiti’s long-term development plans will need to be revised. The sheer scale of the relief effort in Haiti has brought together tremendous capacity and willingness to help.

  • Haiti Earthquake: Crisis and Response
    Haiti Earthquake: Crisis and Response Maureen Taft-Morales Specialist in Latin American Affairs Rhoda Margesson Specialist in International Humanitarian Policy January 15, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41023 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Haiti Earthquake: Crisis and Response Summary The largest earthquake ever recorded in Haiti devastated parts of the country, including the capital, on January 12, 2010. The quake, centered about 15 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, had a magnitude of 7.0. A series of strong aftershocks followed. Witnesses are describing the damage as severe and catastrophic. Communication services were cut off by the earthquake, so detailed information has been limited. Initial reports indicate that thousands of buildings collapsed, leaving unknown numbers of people trapped, and tens of thousands of people homeless in the streets. Early estimates of casualties are constantly being updated, but already reach into the hundreds of thousands. According to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, “[o]f Haiti’s 9 million people, initial reports suggest roughly a third may be affected by the disaster.” About 45,000 U.S. citizens live in Haiti, and the Embassy has been asked to help account for about 3,000 of them. Describing conditions in his country as “unimaginable” following the earthquake, President Rene Preval appealed for international assistance. The country’s top priority was to conduct search and rescue operations for survivors. Other priorities included an offshore vessel medical unit and electricity generation capability. The government also requested communications equipment so that government officials can better function and coordinate response efforts.

    Donna, a mio avviso, è sinonimo di forza. Questo in tutti i tempi e in tutti i luoghi. La selezione delle Ladies ritratte in questa mostra, come sottolinea la curatrice Melissa Proietti, non é stata affatto sempli- ce, poiché il XX secolo ha visto l’avvicendarsi di molte donne incredibili, caratterizzate da una generosità d’animo e da un grande coraggio nelle lotte quotidiane finalizzate al rispetto dei diritti umani. Questa mostra ci offre diverse possibilità, tra le quali sicuramente conoscere l’operato di grandi donne che per la loro storia e la loro attività si sono distinte e ed hanno lasciato un segno, ma anche apprezzare le incredibili doti artistiche del maestro Marcello Reboani che certamente susci- teranno l’interesse dell’opinione pubblica. Dare il giusto valore all’impresa femminile, nel senso ampio della sua accezione, non è cosa semplice. È necessaria una sorta di educazione dell’animo e della mente. Ladies for Human Rights possiede questo fine pedagogico, un progetto che mette in luce donne “fuori dal comune” e che, per questa ragione, meritano di essere ammirate per quello che hanno rappresentato. Donne diverse, ma con un unico filo conduttore: la tenacia, la con- vinzione di agire nel giusto, la difesa dei diritti umani a tutti i livelli. Il Comune di Lecce non può che essere lieto e fiero di aver patrocinato la mostra personale di Marcello Reboani, che sarà ospitata al MUST Museo Storico della Città di Lecce, uno dei contenitori più preziosi di questa città. L’insegnamento che queste donne hanno lasciato all’umanità è un patrimonio inestimabile, che supera i confini del tempo.

International cooperation is ever more necessary in meeting these challenges. The NYU Center on International Cooperation (CIC) works to enhance international responses to conflict, insecurity, and scarcity through applied research and direct engagement with multilateral institutions and the wider policy community. CIC’s programs and research activities span the spectrum of conflict, insecurity and scarcity issues. This allows us to see critical inter-connections and highlight the coherence often necessary for effective response. We have a particular concentration on the UN and multilateral responses to conflict.
