Tuesday, at a press conference, François Anick Joseph the Minister of Interior and Territorial Communities announced that following the damage caused by the heavy rains that fell since May 6 on the country which caused no less than 9 dead and around 3,000 affected families, the Government had decided to spent 52 million gourdes to deal with damage caused by weather and assist victims explaining that due to lack of budget "[...] We make cash management, we receive from DGI, Customs as revenue, this is what we can spend, we can not spend what we do not have [...] we made a plan to spend 52 million gourdes for the victims [...] if that amount enter now we will start spending tomorrow..."

The Minister also reported on measures taken at the Civil Protection Directorate in order to support and resettle affected families saying "We are now back in a dynamic of reorientation of civil protection. Instead of focusing on relief after the damage, we will work more on prevention..."

"Every Haitian who perished is one too many," he deplored, before presenting the sympathies of his government to the families of victims.
