"Of all the disasters that struck our planet in 2010, the Haiti earthquake has left the most difficult wound to heal.
Today, a year on from the second most devastating tremor in the history of humankind, the signs of the disaster are still painfully evident. More than a million people, half of them children, still live in makeshift camps, and a cholera epidemic caused over 4 000 deaths last October. There is still not enough food, access to drinking water, sanitation or schools. Of the USD 500 billion promised by governments and private organisations, very little – just USD 6 billion – has arrived, while the rest has never materialised.
The adoption of this joint resolution today is an important step towards putting up a united front to tackle future challenges. If nature destroys, people rebuild. These words must inspire us to make an ever greater commitment."@en1
