Press Release: Commissioner Georgieva stresses the humanitarian dimension of the Haiti crisis in a conference with Bill Clinton ahead of New York’s Haiti Donors Summit

"While the reconstruction of Haiti should be firmly on our horizon, we must not forget the humanitarian emergency that still affects millions of Haitians." With these words, Kristalina Georgieva, the European Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, emphasised on 25 March 2010 the continuing humanitarian dimension of the Haiti crisis. She was speaking at a conference in New York for non-governmental organisations involved in assisting earthquake-hit Haiti, which she chaired with President Bill Clinton.
