SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 10 – In Haiti, an
earthquake hit and long after,
nothing from the UN whose
Sec-Gen Guterres was away on
an undisclosed vacation.
Now, after
Guterres presumptively
junketed to Lisbon on his way
to raise funds for the Taliban
(UN staff tell Inner City
Press), this from MSF in
Haiti: shortages of fuel,
public transportation and
drinking water are putting
medical facilities and
patients at risk, including
those operated by Doctors
Without Borders/Médecins Sans
Frontières (MSF), the
organization said today,
calling for fuel deliveries to
medical facilities in the
city.
While MSF has been
continuously reducing its
energy consumption through
emergency measures, MSF's
trauma and burns hospital in
Tabarre was forced to reduce
medical activities last week,
treating only patients with
life-threatening conditions.
Both the Tabarre hospital and
MSF's emergency center in
Turgeau will run out of fuel
for hospital generators in
three weeks unless new
supplies are delivered. MSF's
emergency center in Cité
Soleil will run out in two and
a half
weeks.
"Medical facilities in
Port-au-Prince face the same
challenges: no fuel, no
electricity, no medical care,'
said Jean-Gilbert Ndong, MSF
medical coordinator." And
nothing the UN, which killed
10,000 Haitian with cholera
and didn't pay a penny.
We'll have more
on this - Inner City Press'
written question on Haiti have
yet to be answer by the
Mexican Mission to the UN,
president of the UNSC for
November, following Guterres
and his Melissa Fleming
refusing to answer the Quinn
Emanuel law firm's polite
letter seeking access to UNGA
for Inner City Press, as many
state media and retirees will
have.
Most
recently, Guterres'
spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Farhan Haq have refused to
answer Inner City Press'
written questions about new
cases of UN sexual abuse in
Haiti, here.
Talk is cheap.
