Responding to the effects of massive floods that have lashed the nation of Suriname, the Organization of American States (OAS) has expressed concern and solidarity, saying it continues to monitor the situation to see how it can best assist that member state.
Heavy rains since the beginning of May have inundated the Surinamese interior. About 25,000 people are reported to have been affected by the rising water levels, with the most severe damage occurring in the southwest and center of the country. Parts of southern Suriname, including along the Upper Suriname River and Tapahony, Lawa and Marowijne rivers, have been declared disaster areas.
Assistant Secretary General Albert R. Ramdin said today that the OAS has been consulting with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) and other hemispheric and international institutions to determine how best disaster relief can be coordinated and delivered to the areas in most urgent need.
Ambassador Ramdin added that the OAS has also been in contact with President Ronald Venetiaan and senior authorities in Suriname to ascertain the extent of the destruction and to identify the most urgent areas of need. He added that the Organization is also looking to see what other assistance it may be able to render.
During today’s regular session of the OAS Permanent Council—chaired by St. Vincent and the Grenadines Ambassador Ellsworth John—Suriname’s Alternate Representative to the OAS, Rabinder Lala, gave an update on the situation in his country. The member states’ representatives, meanwhile, conveyed support in particular for those affected, as Suriname grapples with the challenges posed by this latest natural disaster.
