OAS SECRETARY GENERAL LAMENTS TRAGEDY IN ECUADOR AND CALLS FOR RAPID INTERNATIONAL AID
August 23, 2006
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, expressed sorrow over the tragedy in Ecuador caused by the eruption of the Tungurahua volcano, which has severely affected seven of the country’s provinces, causing the loss of human life, the displacement of tens of thousands of people, and devastating economic damages.
Insulza called for international solidarity so that the people affected by this disaster can receive immediate attention and can be moved to a secure location. “Besides making a symbolic contribution from a special emergency fund, we are consulting with the Pan American Development Foundation and other hemispheric and international institutions to identify available resources and direct them towards the populations that need them the most,” the OAS Secretary General said.
Given the significant impact caused by natural disasters in the hemisphere, Insulza underscored the urgent need to design prevention mechanisms and establish adequate frameworks for national policies and institutional support to prevent and mitigate the tragic effects of these phenomena.
During the last few days, the Tungurahua volcano – located in the center of the Andean nation, 135 kilometers south of Quito – reached its peak activity levels in nearly seven years, spewing large quantities of lava, rock and ash that devastated nearby villages and caused the destruction of thousands of hectares of crops which are a key source of revenue for the local population.
