Last January 12th, the most violent earthquake in 200 years took place in Haiti, the poorest country in the Americas, where 80% of the population was already under the line of poverty. The death toll rose to over 200,000, more than 3 million people were affected by the quake, and 97% of the buildings collapsed.
The following analogy could be useful to think about the magnitude of the disaster: The capital city of San Luis has a population of more than 160,000 people. An earthquake like the one that took place in Haiti would kill the entire population of San Luis.
Give Haiti the chance to build her own future by asking the settlement of her foreign debt.
CHILE: we are truly sorry about the tragedy our neighbor country suffered last February 27th as a consequence of a series of earthquakes and tsunamis that took place in the area.
We hope our solidarity can be expressed through actions leading to help and assist people in this country.
