Bridgetown, July 19 (Prensa Latina) The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB, for its acronym in English) delivered to Haiti more than two million dollars to face and cover the damages associated with 2015 and 2016 hurricane seasons.
According to the Caribbean News Now digital site, approval of that money is part of the financial institution's commitment to support the efforts of the government of Puerto Principe to mitigate and effectively manage natural disasters and strengthen its economy.
Since 2013 the CDB granted such assistance to the Francophone nation, because it was vulnerable to the impact of disasters following the massive earthquake of January 2010.
That quake left more than 300 thousand people dead, at least three million displaced and a million people homeless, in addition to tear down the infrastructure of the capital and three other surrounding cities.
