Important news about Haiti and recent events.

1 According to Agence France-Presse, on the 25th local time, Haitian Minister of Public Health Alex Larsen said that the death toll from the earthquake in Haiti may eventually reach150,000. So far, 90,000 bodies have been counted.

Earlier, it was reported that the Haitian Minister of Transport said that according to the number of bodies collected and buried in the capital Port-au-Prince and its suburbs, at least 1.5 million people had died. The truck driver who is in charge of burying bodies in mass graves said that more than 6,543,800+500,000 bodies of Haiti earthquake victims have been buried.

Haiti's Minister of Transport stressed that the death toll of 6.5438+0.5 million is only the death toll in the capital Port-au-Prince. As far as Haiti is concerned, no one knows how many victims are buried in the ruins.

The first foreign ministerial preparatory meeting for Haiti's reconstruction ended in Montreal, Canada this afternoon. Participants agreed that Haiti's reconstruction will be led by Haiti, and the international community will participate, cooperate and coordinate to meet Haiti's current and long-term needs.

Canadian Foreign Minister Cannon issued a presidential statement after the meeting, which laid down basic principles for the long-term reconstruction of Haiti. These principles include emphasizing respect for Haiti's sovereignty and making it clear that long-term reconstruction will be led by the Haitian government, mainly coordinated by the United Nations, and closely coordinated by participating countries and organizations at the international, domestic and regional levels.

Participants pointed out that the reconstruction of Haiti will be a long-term hard work for ten years, and they hoped to rebuild Haiti's coping capacity in environment, climate, disasters and emergency.

Participants stressed that a perfect monitoring and evaluation system will be established to ensure the efficiency and credibility of the Haitian government and the international community in Haiti's reconstruction. While continuing to provide humanitarian assistance to Haiti, we should strengthen the construction of democratic mechanisms in Haiti, establish an effective, fair and transparent government, and provide basic human rights services, sustainable social and economic development and a stable judicial system for the Haitian people.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that this meeting is of great significance to Haiti's future. She promised that the US government, under the leadership of the Haitian government, would make joint efforts with other countries to provide the Haitian people with the most needed help and restore their normal life in time.

The meeting decided to hold an emergency international conference at United Nations Headquarters in March this year, which will be hosted by the Haitian government and attended by major donor countries and partners including the United States, Canada, Brazil, France and the European Union.

The one-day preparatory meeting at the level of international foreign ministers in Montreal ended. Canadian Prime Minister Harper, Haitian Prime Minister Bellerille, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, French Foreign Minister kushner and other major Haitian donors, United Nations officials and representatives of non-governmental organizations attended.

3 Real Estate China News June 65438+1October 12 Ten days have passed since the earthquake of magnitude 7.3 occurred in Haiti, with more than 200,000 deaths, shortage of materials, soaring prices, resettlement of victims and post-disaster reconstruction ... We have been paying attention to every news from Haiti. Donations from all over China are also being sent out. In the field of domestic non-public foundations, Vantone Public Welfare Foundation immediately responded by donating $654.38 million to Haiti's earthquake-stricken areas for post-disaster school reconstruction. The first batch of donated funds has been remitted.

It is understood that the money comes from Wantong Industry and its subsidiaries, as well as voluntary and enthusiastic donations from employees. In order to donate money to the Haitian people as soon as possible, Vantone executives and employees discussed overnight, and the donation action was quickly launched among employees. The donation of $654.38 million+US dollars will be directly delivered to Haiti through China Center new york Co., Ltd. under Vantone Industry for post-disaster school construction. China Center new york Co., Ltd. will be the director of funds and project progress of Vantone Public Welfare Foundation.

Wantong Public Welfare Foundation, as a non-public offering foundation, is committed to exchanges, publicity, research, funding and related public welfare undertakings in the fields of environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction, education and social poverty alleviation, with the aim of promoting environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction, and promoting the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The main business field is to promote the construction of ecological communities in China. This donation to Haiti is the first overseas donation project since the establishment of Vantone Public Welfare Foundation. In addition, Wantong Public Welfare Foundation, established in April 2008, also participated in the 2008 Wenchuan disaster relief operation, with a total donation of more than 3 million yuan. Before and after 120 person-times, employees of enterprises and foundations went to the disaster area for more than ten times, with a journey of more than 50,000 kilometers and more than 50,000 people affected. Wantong enterprise volunteers have accumulated more than 6,543,800 hours.

According to the British Daily Telegraph 654381October 25th, a 7-year-old boy in Britain raised more than 60,000 pounds (about 660,000 yuan) in just one day while people all over the world were collecting money for Haiti's disaster relief.

Charlie and his father rode bicycles to raise money.

Charlie Simpson, from London, was very sad when he saw Haitian children being rescued from the ruins on TV, so he told his mother what he wanted to do. Soon, Charlie began to act with the help of his mother. In response to the call of UNICEF, he rode around a local park for about 5 miles (about 8 kilometers) and appealed to people to raise money for Haiti along the way. He raised 500 pounds (about 5,500 yuan) in this way. Later, Charlie launched an appeal online. Surprisingly, hundreds of people were encouraged by the boy's efforts and donated more than 60 thousand pounds in just one day.

"I was very sad when I saw the TV picture," Charlie said. He asked his mother to help him make a donation form. "We put it online, and then it spread quickly."

"He (Charlie) cried after watching the TV report, and then we discussed what we could do," Charlie's mother, Mrs. Simpson, told reporters. "He decided to start a' bike trip', but when the father and son set off by bike together, we didn't expect this little effort to have such a big impact. We are proud of Charlie. He did a good job and raised so many donations. " It is reported that all donations will be sent to UNICEF, which is one of the participants in Haiti's post-disaster rescue operation and is mainly responsible for water, sanitation, education and child protection.

Newsom, head of UNICEF's Haiti rescue mission, said: "Charlie's behavior is touching." It is commendable that a child can respond after knowing the earthquake in Haiti and lend a helping hand to the children there. "

"His (Charlie's) efforts can at least help hundreds of thousands of Haitian victims to drink water," added a UNICEF spokesman. "Charlie's bicycle trip deeply touched us. We have never thought of this way of raising money before, and no one has ever been able to raise 60,000 pounds in one day. Charlie told people with his own actions that it is not difficult to help the victims. "

5 Zhongxin. Com 65438+ 10/2 days have passed since the Haiti earthquake on October 26th. Officials have collected about150,000 bodies of victims, but it is believed that 200,000 people are still buried in the ruins, which means that the death toll may be as high as 350,000.

At present, the international rescue team has not given up search and rescue, and the security situation in the disaster area is chaotic. The United Nations needs more manpower.

Haitian Information Minister Lassegue said that as of Monday, the official death toll was as high as 654.38+0.5 million. This figure is based on the statistics of the number of bodies collected, excluding those victims who were collected by their families and still buried in the ruins.

She said: "No one knows how many people are buried in the ruins, but the Prime Minister said that there may be 200,000 people."

Yesterday, another 4.7-magnitude aftershock occurred in the local area. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Dumont, a teacher in Leogan, said, "I heard a muffled sound, and then a loud noise, as if something had rushed up from the ground."

After the earthquake in Haiti, at least 50 aftershocks of different degrees occurred. The US Geological Survey warned that there will be more aftershocks in Haiti in the coming month, and there may be another strong earthquake.

After the Haitian government announced the cessation of search and rescue, the focus of disaster relief has shifted to the relief of victims. However, the French rescue team is still unwilling to give up the search and rescue. According to local reports, they found another place suspected of burying survivors last Sunday.

French civil defense search and rescue team Shaughnessy Ned said: "We detected the underground movement through radar, but we still don't know the specific location of the target, and we don't know whether it is a survivor or an animal."

He said that radar and sound detectors recorded the sound of scraping the wall and crying. More than 20 rescuers have been involved in the excavation work. In order to ensure safety, a team of French armed police is responsible for the security work at the scene.

The United Nations and the US military are trying their best to distribute supplies, and there are still tens of thousands of victims who lack food, water and shelter. Robbery is rampant in Port-au-Prince. Haitian police took to the streets to stop it, and even directly shot and killed the criminals, but they still couldn't control the situation.

A policeman said helplessly, "We are not here to kill people. There are robbers everywhere ... What can we do? We have no prison! " "Because the prison was destroyed in the earthquake, the police can only admonish the criminals caught and then release them.

In order to control the situation, the United Nations called for more troops to enter Haiti and act as temporary police. In addition to manpower, Mueller, the special representative of the United Nations Mission in Haiti, also asked for more transportation. For the 20,000 American soldiers who have arrived in Haiti, he said that they have played a key role in distributing relief supplies.

For hundreds of thousands of victims who lost their homes, the Haitian authorities plan to resettle some victims in different places, which has already overwhelmed some places. About 1000 victims flooded into St. Mark, a small town 80 kilometers away from Port-au-Prince, and buses were still carrying the victims into the city, hoping to find food and shelter.

Muller said that it may take several years to clean up the disaster area and count the victims. Many experts believe that the reconstruction of Haiti will last at least ten years, and in the next few years, hundreds of thousands of Haitians will need to live in temporary shelters and rely on foreign aid to live.

On June 13 10/3, a strong earthquake struck Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. Eight Chinese peacekeeping policemen, including Zhu Xiaoping and Guo Baoshan, died, including three policemen from Yunnan Frontier Defense Corps. In the past few days, the Hunan Frontier Defense Corps of the Armed Police held various commemorative activities, calling on everyone to learn from the martyrs.

Yang Ming, a policeman at Zhangjiajie Border Inspection Station, is the only policeman in the province's border defense system who has participated in the peacekeeping mission in Haiti. He went to Haiti twice to perform tasks as a team combatant, English translator and team liaison officer. Yesterday, Yang Ming sorted out his diary and introduced his unforgettable peacekeeping experience in Haiti to reporters, in order to express his deep nostalgia for his comrades.

1 The boy stared at the garbage swept out.

Yang Ming, a 28-year-old native of Zhijiang, Hunan Province, is now a full-time staff officer at the headquarters of Zhangjiajie Border Inspection Station. August 13, 2006 is a very special day for him, because it is his 25th birthday, and at the same time he has embarked on the journey of peacekeeping in Haiti. This is also the first time that Yang Ming was selected by the Ministry of Public Security to participate in the Chinese peacekeeping police riot squad to perform tasks in Haiti until April 2007.

"Blue waters, quiet islands, white beaches, gray sailboats …" Looking at the beautiful bay on the plane, Yang Ming really felt that Haiti was a paradise on earth. But when the plane landed slowly, Yang Mingcai discovered that it was completely different. Haiti's airport is near the port, surrounded by mountains and has only one runway. Whenever the landing plane taxies to the end of the runway, it must make a 180 degree turn and return to the apron in the middle of the airport. Outside the plane, there are dilapidated bungalows, chaotic streets, desolate and barren fields and pedestrians in rags.

Poverty and backwardness are Yang Ming's deepest impression of Haiti. Just arrived in the Haitian mission area, Yang Ming and his teammates cleaned up the camp, and some waste items and expired food were thrown into the garbage. Yang Ming found a little boy about 10 years old beside the garbage dump, staring at the garbage they cleaned up. After they left, the little boy rushed over, picked up the expired food and held it tightly in his arms. Yang Ming wrote in his diary that day: In the streets and alleys of Port-au-Prince, discarded garbage can be seen everywhere, piling up into mountains and stinking. The wounds of war are everywhere, and the bullet holes left on the wall are witnesses of suffering. Every time he sees this, he always has all kinds of feelings, bitterness and sadness.

The national castle is a mud hillside.

Yang Ming's first mission to Haiti was to station in the national castle. When it comes to castles, Yang Ming first thinks of generous city walls and tall houses, just like a dreamy fairy tale world. However, Yang Ming searched for a long time, but found no trace of the castle.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Yang Ming and his teammates boarded two trakas and set foot on the road to the castle. They were all very excited and speculated about the possibility of new services with great interest. After more than 20 minutes, the car climbed a steep slope and stopped in front of a closed iron gate to reach the National Castle. Yang Ming said that the national castle is surrounded by many houses, and the blue sea is in front of us. The air is fresh and comfortable. While waiting for the task arrangement, he searched again and again in the garrison, but never saw the castle.

On the same day, the China Riot Squad, the Brazilian peacekeeping force and the Haitian police left the garrison in three cars, armed to the teeth, and began to patrol the Barelare area in Port-au-Prince. Yang Ming told reporters that varela Lei is the most prosperous place in Haiti, where there is a presidential palace and government agencies gather. The situation is relatively stable, but the peacekeeping task is also extremely heavy. After the patrol, it was lunch time when I returned to the Brazilian camp for a short rest. Yang Ming and his teammates have eaten their own war food, which is considered to be a hunger. They gave canned fish and other war food to Brazilian soldiers and local blacks. Brazilians and blacks kept giving thumbs up: "OK, OK!" "

Yang Ming also took advantage of the rest and couldn't wait to ask the translator about the location of the castle. Yang Ming was dumbfounded by the translator's answer: "The hillside where this garrison is located is the castle." The translator told Yang Ming that castle means palace in French, and it also means defending the city wall. It used to be a battleground for military strategists, so battlements and forts were built, and later people called it the national castle, which has been passed down to this day.

Three classes are devoted to the study of mosquitoes.

Less than three months after arriving in the mission area, the Jordanian peacekeeping force was shot by unidentified armed elements and two peacekeeping policemen were killed. The sacrifice of peers changed Yang Ming's original idea of his own safety. "I always thought that our weapons were advanced and well-equipped, and the militants would definitely stay away from them and never dare to take the initiative to conflict." Yang Ming realized that Haiti is not as simple as he imagined, and dangers are everywhere. Only by completing the task and going abroad can it be said to be safe. As long as you are in Haiti, you must always be vigilant and raise your safety awareness. There can be no slack.

Like Haiti's unstable environment, Haiti's natural environment is also relatively bad. The climate is hot and mosquitoes are rampant, and the peacekeeping center has also set up a special course to study mosquitoes. Yang Ming joked with his teammates that when he was on duty in Haiti, he had to guard against stray bullets and militants, but also against the ubiquitous mosquitoes. In their dormitories, gyms, armored vehicles and other places, mosquitoes are all "collective operations of large corps." After being bitten by a mosquito, a purple big bag will appear, which is extremely itchy, and the swollen bag will be gone in three or four days. Yang Ming and his teammates suffered a lot, and some players were even black and blue. They finally launched the "Mosquito Killing Action", spraying disinfectant every day, flushing the hall with water every Saturday, and filling up the ground that is easy to accumulate water during the break, and finally realizing the situation that "the electric mosquito swatter is basically not used, the toilet water is basically not wiped, and mosquitoes are basically not sprayed".

On June 5438+065438+1 October 12, 2006, the China riot squad came to the mission area for three months and successfully completed the service of duty points No.2 and No.3 on1highway. China riot squad added food to the camp, but only two more dishes than usual. "We are still very happy, because everyone has a bottle of mellow beer, and drinking is absolutely forbidden on weekdays." Yang Ming recalled the extra meal that day, and it seemed that the cheers of his teammates "working" still echoed in his ears.

There is also a music carnival on the barren land.

Christianity in Europe and voodoo originating in Africa interact in Haiti. Under the influence of the strong musical atmosphere in Latin America, a national grand festival, the Haitian Music Carnival, has gradually sprung up in this barren land. Parades, floats, songs and dances create a strong carnival atmosphere. But carnival also means excessive drinking, illegal consumption of prohibited substances, and often leads to riots and violent incidents. From August 2008 to June 2009, when Yang Ming was sent to Haiti for a second peacekeeping mission, he defended the Haitian Music Carnival. Speaking of defending the music festival, Yang Ming said that there are only five words: tired and happy.

From February 18 to February 20th, 2009, it was a musical carnival for Haitian people. The main task of peacekeeping forces in various countries is to assist the Haitian police to ensure the safety of the celebration and provide security for the United Nations Mission in Haiti to prevent all forms of violence. Every afternoon 1, the armored motorcade departs from Sonaby camp on time and goes east along Yingbin Avenue to the designated patrol location. The patrol route of Yang Ming and his teammates is roughly the same as that of the carnival celebration parade. Therefore, the task of maintaining stability is also a top priority.

On the evening of February 18, 2009, a group of supporters of the former president started to attack the policies of the new government after drinking, and made verbal attacks on the current president and foreign peacekeeping forces. Things gradually turned into riots. A local police car that arrived at the scene first was smashed and burned, and two local policemen fell in a pool of blood after being injured by wine bottles and stones. After receiving the alarm, China riot squad, Jordan riot squad, Brazilian peacekeeping force and Haitian special police rushed to the scene to reinforce. Haitian police immediately blocked the scene of the trouble, and the mob tried to blend in with the crowd and flee the scene. Yang Ming and his teammates immediately locked the mob headed by strong light on the armored vehicle. Haitian special police quickly rushed into the crowd in the direction indicated by the light and subdued several thugs.

High-level officials from various countries spoke highly of China riot squad.

During the Haitian Music Carnival, the China riot squad also had an important task-to defend the Montana Hotel. Yang Ming told reporters that Montana Hotel is one of the best hotels in Port-au-Prince, where senior UN officials and foreign delegations live, and it is an important target of illegal armed attacks. In order not to affect the hotel business, Yang Ming and his teammates brought their own field food and moisture-proof mats. As night fell, Yang Ming and his teammates could only take turns to rest in the open space in front of the hotel, but the heavy bulletproof vests made the riot fighters in China unable to sleep at all. Yang Ming said that he really wanted to lie in bed and have a good sleep. But all these efforts are worthwhile. Under the strict guard of the China riot squad, during the three-day carnival, there was no attack on the Montana Hotel, and the normal business of the hotel was not affected. High-level officials from various countries who stayed in the hotel spoke highly of the work of the riot squad in China.

Peacekeepers are students of Hu University.

I am studying for a master's degree in management engineering in this school.

(Reporter Zeng Huanhuan, reporter Xu Yuan) According to Xinhua News Agency, a few days ago, the State Council and the Central Military Commission issued orders to posthumously award Qin Li, Zhong Jianqin and He Zhihong the honorary titles of "peacekeeping heroes"; Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Public Security decided to posthumously award Zhu Xiaoping, Guo Baoshan, Wang Shulin, Li Xiaoming and Zhao Huayu the honorary title of "the first-class hero model of the national public security system". Zhu Xiaoping, 48, was the director of the Equipment Finance Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Yesterday, the reporter learned from Hunan University that Zhu Xiaoping had studied for a master's degree in management engineering.

"Xiaoping, let the teacher regret for your departure and make the teacher proud of you! You will live in our hearts forever! " 65438123 October, Chen Shou, doctoral supervisor of the School of Business Administration of Hunan University, left a deep mourning on the website of the Ministry of Public Security for Zhu Xiaoping, a student who died in the Haiti earthquake. 1994 September 18, 32-year-old Zhu Xiaoping worked in the Ministry of Public Security and was admitted to the School of Business Administration of Hunan University to study for a master's degree in management engineering.

"Low-key, calm and serious." This is Chen Shou's first impression of Zhu Xiaoping. Among the students in that class, Zhu Xiaoping keeps a low profile both in class and in life, which Chen Shou thinks is his professional habit. "The students who are studying for a master's degree on the job are under great pressure, but Xiaoping works hard and everything assigned by the teacher can always be done well."

During 1996, Chen Shoudai's students defended their graduation thesis one after another, but Zhu Xiaoping didn't come. "This is not the usual style of Zhu Xiaoping." Chen Shou is confused. At this moment, Zhu Xiaoping also called the tutor and said that he had been sent to Hong Kong to coordinate the work before the handover due to work needs, so he could not come to finish the thesis defense. "At that time, Zhu Xiaoping's credits have all been completed. If he doesn't attend the thesis defense on time, it means giving up his degree. " Nevertheless, Zhu Xiaoping gave up his defense for the national interest. While sympathizing with Zhu Xiaoping, Chen Shou also paid tribute to his students.

To Chen Mei's mind, this call with her became the last contact between them.

Due to work reasons, Chen Shou could not go to Beijing to attend Zhu Xiaoping's farewell ceremony. He wrote his respects and condolences to the students on the Internet. (

As of today, it has been two weeks since the earthquake in Haiti. According to the number of bodies found in Port-au-Prince, the death toll caused by the earthquake has reached 6.5438+0.5 million. Rebirth after the robbery, where the country will go in the future, how the people will spend the difficult years, and how the various forces in this country will change, all of which can not help but arouse people's inquiry and exclamation. Today, this newspaper launched a series of observations on Haiti, thinking about the future of this Caribbean island country with readers.

The United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution on June 5438+09, deciding to send 3,500 additional peacekeepers to Haiti to assist in humanitarian assistance, stability maintenance and post-disaster reconstruction. This has increased the number of personnel in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (hereinafter referred to as "UNMIH") to 65,438+260,000.

The question now is, what tasks will the reinforced UN troops perform in Haiti? How can they be most effective?

Social order: the need to "recover the old mountains and rivers"

The urgent task of the United Nations forces is to stabilize social order in Haiti. Haiti has just experienced extremely chaotic 14 days after the earthquake. At present, the order in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, has begun to recover, but looting of relief supplies and looting still occur from time to time, and the chaotic situation has not been completely reversed.

According to Xinhua News Agency, Peng, a policeman of Guangdong Zhongshan Frontier Detachment who went to Haiti for peacekeeping, said on the 24th that the life order in Port-au-Prince was being further restored, but the public security situation after the earthquake was worse than before, with frequent riots. Some victims and troublemakers looted shops, looted materials, attacked material delivery personnel, and endangered the safety of rescue workers. At present, Port-au-Prince is still in urgent need of materials, armed conflicts continue, and stray bullets are flying everywhere.

In order to rebuild Haiti, the first and most urgent thing is to improve social security. We can take the results of the seventh peacekeeping police riot squad that returned from China in June 2009 as an example to see the security situation in Haiti before the earthquake. During the 10 month in Haiti, this riot squad has successively completed the 165, 438+09 "red high risk" tasks of the Haitian presidential election, secret search, hostage rescue and armed guards, and participated in the arrest of gangs.

After more than five years of efforts by UNMIH, law and order in Haiti have improved slightly. However, a major earthquake threw the situation back into chaos, especially thousands or even thousands of prisoners escaped from prison by taking advantage of the chaos after the earthquake, which made it necessary for the Haitian Mission to arrest them first to ensure that natural disasters would not aggravate man-made disasters.

Material distribution: acting as an agent for civil affairs.

However, one of the fundamental reasons for the looting of materials is that materials cannot be distributed to the victims in time, so the problem lies in how to distribute them effectively and safely.

Xinhua News Agency said on the 22nd that, on the one hand, Haitian victims are hungry and cold, and the wounded are in urgent need of treatment; On the other hand, relief materials, medicines and medical equipment are piling up at the airport, and the distribution of the whole relief materials lacks effective organization and implementation.

In response to this situation, Haitian President Pré val said on the 23rd that Haitian government agencies suffered heavy losses in this strong earthquake and were unable to undertake the overall planning and distribution of relief materials. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the power of the United Nations to let relief materials reach the victims as soon as possible. He called on the United Nations to establish a "Red Helmets" rescue force as opposed to peacekeeping "Blue Helmets" to help the Haitian government distribute relief supplies.

Judging from the news sent back from the front, the United Nations really needs to send more personnel to exercise the functions that belong to the civil affairs department of the Haitian government. For example, Oxfam sent an email to China Business News saying that thousands of survivors have nothing, need clean water to drink and wash, and need public toilets to control the spread of diseases; Need shelter and simple daily necessities, such as a wok.

"Troika" relationship is subtle.

The additional 3,500 United Nations peacekeepers will serve for six months. This shows that they should not only participate in disaster relief, but also undertake some reconstruction functions.

In the next step, one direction of peacekeeping in Haiti may be to speed up the reconstruction of local security forces, including training local police. Before the earthquake, there were 4,500 policemen in Port-au-Prince. At present, only about 2000 of them can find jobs and come back to work, which is not enough to deal with emergencies.

Of course, the reconstruction of Haiti will not happen overnight, and this is not just the work of peacekeeping forces and police. After all, a country with a per capita GDP of only a few hundred dollars and more than half of the people unemployed cannot restore order by military police alone. The whole Haitian society, from tangible infrastructure to intangible social management mechanism, needs to be rebuilt.

Since 2004, UNMIH has been leading peacekeeping operations in Haiti. However, after the earthquake, according to the request of the Haitian government, the United States sent 6,543,800 soldiers to Haiti, exceeding the total number of UNMIH.

The United Nations and the United States reached an agreement on the 22nd, confirming that the United Nations is responsible for the overall coordination of international rescue operations after the earthquake in Haiti, and at the same time authorizing the United States to play a "supporting role". However, legally speaking, these American troops are not in the United Nations establishment, and MIH and American troops do not belong to the same command system. For the United Nations, how to deal with the sudden increase in the number of American troops is probably a lot to consider.

In essence, the future management of Haiti will be dominated by the "troika" of the United Nations, the United States and the Haitian government. The stability of Haiti will largely depend on whether this "triangular relationship" is stable.

Representatives of dozens of countries and international organizations held the first international conference on earthquake relief in Haiti in Canada on the 25th, focusing on assessing the losses caused by the earthquake and determining the most urgent tasks at present.

Hurricane season will aggravate the disaster

The international community actively provides assistance, but the lack of coordination is the main problem.

The Canadian government said that Haiti is facing "unprecedented" short-term and long-term challenges, and coordinated rescue operations from the international community are the key to changing the situation.

The meeting will be held in Montreal to review the disaster relief work, discuss the current humanitarian situation in Haiti and coordinate international disaster relief and reconstruction assistance.

In addition to Canada and Haiti, representatives from more than 20 countries and international organizations including the United Nations, the United States, France, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, the European Union, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank attended the meeting.

It is reported that Haiti has entered the hurricane season for half a year since June, and rescuers are worried that this will make the disaster worse.

Aid is not a promise, but an action.

One of the topics of the Montreal meeting is to discuss the time and place of a larger international conference on Haiti's reconstruction, which may be held in the next few months. "The purpose of this meeting is not to make a commitment, but to ensure that we have an action plan."

The United Nations has appealed to the international community to provide Haiti with about $570 million in emergency assistance, of which about $240 million has been pledged and put in place.

Last week, Dominica, a neighboring country of Haiti, proposed to formulate a five-year aid plan for Haiti with a total amount of 654.38 billion US dollars.

On the 25th, the charity Oxfam International called on the Montreal Conference to exempt Haiti's $890 million international debt.

Jeremy Hobbs, executive director of Oxfam International, said in London that it was not only "cruel" but also "unnecessary" to expect Haiti to repay its foreign debt after the earthquake. He said that the International Monetary Fund has indicated that once approved by its members, it will turn 654.38 billion US dollars of emergency loans into aid.

Hobbes also listed other major issues that need to be urgently dealt with in Haiti's reconstruction, including providing support to local farmers and small businesses.

The close-up of a two-year-old boy who miraculously survived brought hope to Haiti.

Redkinson Hastings-Claude is a boy of only two years old, but his frail body brings hope to the Haitian people who are suffering. His rescue was like a dawn, illuminating the dark days caused by the earthquake.

Accompanied by his father Rechner Wilde and his mother Plesl, Ledkinson returned to his former home on June 24, 65438/KLOC-0, but it has become a pile of ruins because of the earthquake. Three days ago, Ledkinson recovered his life from this pile of ruins, while his own brother, great-grandmother and two cousins were buried under this pile of ruins forever.

Beside the ruins, a puppy is foraging on a rotting corpse that has not been cremated. The scene of devastation reminds people of that terrible earthquake from time to time.

The return of Levinson undoubtedly freed people here from the depressed life for some time. The women are very happy to see the healthy and lively Lakshman. They all stepped forward and rushed to hug the brave little boy, and Ledkinson smiled brightly in people's hugs. Obviously, he is a local hero.

"Everything is disappointing. The earthquake claimed so many lives, but fortunately, the rescue of Radkinson brought hope to everyone, which made us all happy, "said a woman with tears."

After the earthquake, Leikinson's father, Rechner Wilde, was lucky to survive. 2 1, he found the body of his eldest son Felix in the ruins, and a passerby told him that there were crying children nearby. "I shouted the name of Levinson over and over again ... finally, he replied," Reginald said. Later, with the help of rescuers and rescue dogs, Rydekinson was found under a prefabricated board, which propped up a narrow space for Rydekinson, so that the little boy escaped and was hardly injured.

Ledkinson's parents lost their eldest son, their home and everything at home, even their jobs in the earthquake. "Thank god, let's have a redkinson. He gave us a reason to live, "said Redkinson's mother.
