Source text - French COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE
Action contre la Faim se mobilise pour répondre
à la situation humanitaire aux Gonaïves
Action contre la Faim est inquiète quant à la situation catastrophique que connaît aujourd’hui Haïti, et plus particulièrement la ville des Gonaïves suite aux passages successifs de 3 ouragans sur l’île.
Des pluies diluviennes et des vents violents n’en finissent pas de s’abattre sur Haïti depuis maintenant plus de deux semaines, accompagnant les 3 ouragans Gustav, Hanna et Ike. La ville des Gonaïves est totalement inondée et très difficile d’accès, de nombreuses infrastructures ayant été détruites.
Action contre la Faim mobilise son équipe d’urgence
Action contre la Faim, qui était intervenue aux Gonaïves suite au passage dévastateur de la tempête Jeanne en 2004, intervient dans le nord ouest du pays et notamment à Port de Paix sur des projets d’eau, d’assainissement et de nutrition. L’équipe de Port de Paix a approvisionné en eau potable la semaine dernière les populations de la ville s’étant réfugiées dans des abris lors des passages des ouragans.
Des membres de l’ « équipe d’urgence » sont partis de Paris vendredi dernier pour renforcer l’équipe déjà sur place. D’autres personnes (logisticiens et spécialistes en eau et assainissement) les rejoindront mercredi afin d’assister le plus rapidement possible les populations sinistrées aux Gonaïves.
Le « plan de contingence » d’ACF en Haïti activé
Action contre la Faim a mis en place depuis plusieurs années un « plan d’urgence » consistant à pré-positionné du matériel pour répondre aux besoins en eau et assainissement (motopompes, réservoirs souples, rampes de robinets, stations de traitement, etc.) dans le cas de catastrophes naturelles qui sont malheureusement récurrentes durant la saison cyclonique. Le matériel est stocké à Port au Prince et à Port de Paix et devrait être acheminé dès que possible sur les Gonaïves.
Translation - English PRESS RELEASE
Action Against Hunger Mobilizes in Response to the Humanitarian Crisis in Gonaives
The humanitarian aid organization Action Against Hunger/Action Contre la Faim (ACF) is gravely concerned about the catastrophic situation that Haiti, and the city of Gonaives in particular, faces after the passage of three successive hurricanes.
Torrential rains and heavy winds have continued to batter Haiti for more than two weeks, accompanying the three hurricanes Gustav, Hanna and Ike. Gonaives remains very difficult to access due to complete flooding and the destruction of many facilities in the city.
Action Against Hunger Mobilizes an Emergency Team
Action Against Hunger--which intervened in Gonaives in 2004 following the devastating passage of Tropical Storm Jeanne--is currently working in northwestern Haiti on water, sanitation and nutrition projects. This team, focused around Port-de-Paix, has supplied the city's population with water during the past week as they took refuge in shelters during the hurricanes.
Some members of the emergency team left Paris last Friday to reinforce those already on the ground. Other personnel (logisticians and water and sanitation specialists) will join them on Wednesday to help the disaster victims in Gonaives as quickly as possible.
ACF Activates its "Contingency Plan" in Haiti
Several years ago, Action Against Hunger established a local Emergency Plan in the event of natural disasters, which are unfortunately recurrent during the hurricane season. Supplies for water and sanitation relief (motor-pumps, flexible water tanks, water taps, treatment stations, etc.) were pre-stocked in Port-au-Prince and Port-de-Paix. This equipment will be transported to Gonaives as soon as possible.
