Haiti to relocate 400,000 homeless outside capital
PORT-AU-PRINCE |
PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Haiti's government plans to relocate some 400,000 homeless survivors of last week's earthquake to new villages to be set up outside the wrecked capital, Interior Minister Paul Antoine Bien-Aime said on Thursday.
In the first wave, the government would move 100,000 refugees to tent villages of 10,000 each near the northern town of Croix Des Bouquets, he added. He gave no timing but said this would start as soon as possible.
