UN Humanitarian Coordinator Highlights Haiti's Reconstruction Challenges
The United Nations' outgoing humanitarian coordinator highlighted that Haiti's reconstruction remains achievable despite current hardships. She emphasized that a proposed $900 million aid plan to address urgent needs, including widespread starvation, has garnered the least support globally for similar initiatives.
Leadership and Urgency
Ulrika Richardson, who has led the UN's efforts over the past three years amid rising gang violence, kidnapping, and sexual assault, urged the international community to prioritize Haiti's crisis. She made these remarks during her final press conference on Haiti before transitioning to her new assignment in Libya scheduled for next month.
