Visit of Kristalina Georgieva, Member of the EC, to Haiti
Kristalina Georgieva, Member of the EC in charge of International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, embarked on a three-day visit to Haiti, three years after a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, taking more than 200,000 lives and making 1.5 million people homeless, the EU continues to help the struggling country with an additional €30.5 million in humanitarian funding announced during Kristalina Georgieva's visit. This new funding will help those still homeless as a result of the earthquake, cholera victims and those badly affected by Hurricane Sandy.
During her stay, Kristalina Georgieva participated in the official closing of the Jean Marie Vincent camp, in the town of Tabarre, which had sheltered earthquake victims since 2010. The place is now home to a new school built with the financial assistance provided by the EU. She also visited a field hospital and the CARE project in the commune of Carrefour.
