Haiti - News : Zapping... 16/04/2020 11:50:41
On Wednesday the 15th from his second home, the Prime Minister said he believed that we should "avoid counting the corpses in Haiti". According to him, "We destroyed the country, so today we have to admit that if we don't have hospitals and other infrastructure, it's because of our behavior. We must use this crisis and take this opportunity to rebuild the country." Covid-19 : Management of death Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe said on Wednesday that the government would care for the dead of Covid-19. Supply of personal protective equipment to hospitals Tuesday April 14, 2020, the Town Hall of Port-au-Prince through its medical service, thanks to the support of the city of Montreal, delivered personal protective equipment (PPE) to the State University Hospital of Haiti (General Hospital). This equipment will help protect medical staff in the context of the treatment of Coronavirus. This distribution will continue in other hospitals in the commune of Port-au-Prince which are involved in the management of COVID-19. Warning to bandits Wednesday, Me Lucmanne Delille, the Minister of Justice during a press briefing with members of the High Staff of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) has issued a warning to bandits seeking to impose their laws in the locality of Martissant stating "They will be hunted down and stopped". Covid-19 : Collateral damage The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stresses that "Containment as a measure to prevent the spread of the virus should further increase food insecurity. Women are likely to be particularly affected as gender violence by intimate partners and domestic violence will increase as a result of increased tensions in the home. Attention needs to be paid to how to ensure the delivery of services to vulnerable groups such as the elderly, people with disabilities, people living with HIV and pregnant women. The number of unwanted pregnancies is also likely to increase due to confinement." Montreal supports Port-au-Prince against the epidemic The Embassy of Canada to Haiti salutes the city of Montreal, which supports the efforts of the City of Port-au-Prince in the fight against Covid-19 with the local purchase of essential products : masks, gloves, chlorine, soaps and uniforms. Town Hall of Port-au-Prince's efforts are essential to protect citizens and reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
