"Ladies and gentlemen, today we are sharing in the pain of the families of the many victims of the natural disasters that took place last week: a terrible earthquake in south Asia and Hurricane Stan in Central America. The earthquake, which has struck Pakistan, the north of India and Afghanistan, has led to thousands of deaths, many injured and immense material losses. The damage has been greatest in Kashmir in particular. A great tragedy has struck Central America. Hurricane Stan passed through several countries in the region, caused huge material damage and irreparable human losses. The consequences are difficult to overcome, and will continue to be so for a long time to come. On behalf of the European Parliament, our President, Josep Borrell, immediately expressed our solidarity and our sympathies to the authorities of the countries affected by these tragedies. The European Union has acted quickly, mobilising and offering emergency aid to the affected regions and their inhabitants. We shall have to consider how we are going to contribute to the reconstruction effort in the regions that have been struck by these disasters in cooperation with the governments of the countries affected. We in the European Parliament wish to express our solidarity, our love and our support to the families and victims in Asia and Central America. We stand beside them at this extremely hard and difficult time. I would now like to ask you, ladies and gentlemen, to observe a minute’s silence in memory of these people who have been taken away from us forever by the cruel forces of nature."@en1
