Caribbean American legislators here have called for international support for Haiti, as the country observes the ninth anniversary of the devastating earthquake.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

 New York State Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte, the daughter of Haitian immigrants, and New York City Councilman Jumaane Williams, the son of Grenadian immigrants, told the Caribbean Media Corporation on Saturday that 2.5 million people in Haiti are still in dire need of aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

\u201cHaiti still needs our help,\u201d said Bichotte, who represents the 42nd Assembly District in Brooklyn, stating that the 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12, 2010 claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since the massive earthquake, Bichotte said Haiti has been \u201cbattling the subsequent cholera epidemic and the multitude of natural disasters.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But, in the midst of the struggle to rebuild, the assemblywoman laments that US President Donald Trump has decided to end Temporary Protection Status (TPS) for over 50,000 Haitian immigrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She noted that the decision comes \u201cafter a slew of bigoted comments made by President Trump, disrespecting Haiti and its people.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am deeply offended by these words and actions,\u201d she said. \u201cThe White House\u2019s decision adds insult to injury with the mounting catastrophes and distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will continue to speak out against the rescission of TPS for Haitians and for the preservation of basic human rights for Haitians and all Americans,\u201d Bichotte added. \u201cLet\u2019s take a moment of silence for Haiti and the people of Haiti.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a representative of the largest Haitian community in the United States outside of Florida, Williams said he takes \u201cvery seriously the responsibility of contributing to the ongoing mission of remembrance, recovery and rebuilding.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is not a sentiment shared by the Trump administration, which is turning its back on our Haitian brothers and sisters,\u201d said Williams, representative for the predominantly Caribbean 45th Council District in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Jumaane D. Williams<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He noted also that Trump, in 2017, ordered the end of TPS, put in place after the 2010 earthquake, \u201cdespite the ongoing suffering from this earthquake and additional, mounting natural disasters such as Hurricane Matthew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven as the Trump administration maintains a travel advisory for Haiti, it is attempting to force Haitians out of our country,\u201d added Williams, a candidate for New York City Public Advocate. \u201cThis isn\u2019t surprising, given that he has made vile derogatory comments about the Haitian people and the nation they call home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis administration has no regard whatsoever for the neither the strength nor the struggles of the Haitian people,\u201d he continued. \u201cI stand in support of the group of people who is standing up to Trump in court to protect TPS and the Haitian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDespite the harm being done by our government, however, I know that the American people still recognize the need to extend aid to our brothers and sisters in Haiti, who have done so much for our nation throughout its history, playing a role in doubling the size of our country and helping us to grow, and who we must repay,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur government is factually wrong, but our people can still act in a way that is morally right,\u201d Williams declared. \u201cI am hopeful that we can all work together in bringing Haiti to new heights in the year to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In commemorating the anniversary of the 2010 earthquake, the United Nations noted on Saturday that  half of the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, was destroyed, 220,000 reported dead and 1 million residents displaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staff at the UN Mission in Haiti were also affected, and there were 102 UN casualties, including the Secretary-General\u2019s Special Envoy, H\u00e9di Annabi, and his deputy, Luiz Carlos da Costa, the UN said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was the \u2018biggest single loss of life in the history of UN Peacekeeping,\u2019\u201d the then-President of the UN Staff Union, Stephen Kisambira, said at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN said one of the survivors was Sophie Boutaud de la Combe, currently the head of communications for the UN Mission for Justice in Haiti (MINUJUSTH), who was seven months pregnant at the time and just a few days away from home leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had been in the headquarters of MINUJUSTH\u2019s predecessor, the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), when the quake hit, according to the UN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It said the building completely collapsed, but Boutaud de la Combe \u201cmanaged to escape through a collapsed wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor many hours, she and her surviving colleagues searched through the rubble, looking for anyone still trapped under the building,\u201d the UN said. \u201cTwo days later, she reluctantly left Haiti, a situation she describes as \u2018a trauma,\u2019 her instinct being to help the UN and the people of Haiti.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN said Boutaud de la Combe eventually returned to Haiti in 2013, \u201chappy to be able to play a part in the rebuilding of the country, and honor her lost colleagues with her work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine years after the earthquake, the situation in Haiti is \u201cvery different,\u201d according to the Haitian Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN also said Boutaud de la Combe and Haiti are now much better prepared for similar natural disasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA few months ago, there was an earthquake in the north of the country. The state was prepared, and they sent their people to support those affected, without MINUJUSTH involvement,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was not a major earthquake, but now the population knows how to react,\u201d Boutaud de la Combe added. \u201cAnd, most importantly, we hear regularly how important it is to build better, to build strongly in case an earthquake would hit, not to endanger the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
