IN WAKE OF HURRICANE’S RAVAGE, OAS EXPRESSES SUPPORT
September 13, 2004
With citizens now picking up the pieces after hurricanes Charley, Frances and Ivan cut a deadly trail through The Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago and the United States, the Organization of American States (OAS) expressed sympathies, pledging support to mobilize as much disaster relief aid as possible.
Secretary General César Gaviria has written to the respective leaders, conveying the Organization’s sympathies, amid ongoing efforts to assess the death toll and damage to homes and infrastructure. Noting the OAS is considering what immediate assistance it can provide through the appropriate emergency response mechanisms, Mr. Gaviria said the Organization would seek to use its good offices to coordinate with other regional and international agencies to mobilize the required disaster relief.
In the letter to Prime Minister Keith Mitchell of Grenada, where hurricane Ivan left some thirty-seven dead and some 90 per cent of the buildings destroyed, Gaviria stressed that the OAS and the inter-American community at large “mourn with the people of Grenada the unprecedented loss of life.”
The letters to the Prime Ministers of the hurricane-ravaged Caribbean countries stressed that the OAS is mindful that this natural disaster is an incalculable blow to the governments and their people. The Secretary General said that these natural disasters inflicted “a serious setback” on small economies that had been making important progress in the face of a highly competitive international economic environment.
He commended the United States and Trinidad and Tobago for coming to the aid of neighboring countries even as they had to deal with the effects of Hurricanes Charley and Frances and Ivan respectively.
