EU Commissioner Lahbib Speaks on Haiti at UN General Assembly

EU Commissioner Lahbib addressed the UN General Assembly on Haiti, noting that children are being recruited by gangs, families are trapped behind walls of violence, and humanitarian workers risk their lives to reach people in need. Since 1994, the EU has provided close to €600 million in humanitarian aid to Haiti, making it the largest recipient of EU humanitarian assistance in Latin America and the Caribbean. This year alone, EU support amounts to €23 million, with an additional €10 million for the Haitian National Police and the Gang Suppression Force.
