countries, Ambassador Sanders said: \u201cWe are greatly troubled that the misery caused by this disaster was intensified by tropical storm, Grace, which generated widespread flooding and landslides.\u00a0 When this double calamity occurred over the last few days in Haiti, the country was already confronting a humanitarian crisis, including a grave strain on its medical facilities that were overwhelmed by several essential demands, including coping with the COVID-19 pandemic\u201d.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2651821046\" class=\"antig-content_4 antig-entity-placement\"><a
