Eviction - Saint-Louis de Gonzague

< Previous | Home | Next >

12,000 earthquake victims camped out on the grounds of the Saint-Louis de Gonzague secondary school are being told by local authorities that they have until Friday to leave, on there own, without any government assistance.

Wilson Jeudi, Mayor of the Delmas District of Port-au-Prince, has publicly stated that if they do not obey the law, the police will have to take action.

It is obvious that Mayor Jeudi is in a state of confusion.

This camp has become a stable community and should not be moved unless there is a better place to put the victims.

They are being told to relocate to an already overcrowded and unsafe camp that is inferior to the one they are in. There is no way that 12,000 more people can fit in the space that is in that camp.

If Mayor Jeudi is not prevented from his criminal act of eviction, and if you support this eviction, then it is obvious to me that US/UN/Haitian authorities are intentionally trying to harm the homeless of Haiti.

Excuses can be made for lack of aid, but no excuses can be made for eviction and placing Haitians at greater risk.
