Haitians Must be Relocated Now; U.N. Official: No, to Relocation

Yesterday's heavy rains in Port-au-Prince have created a flooding and filth threat to 218,000 of the 1.3 million people homeless in the extended quake zone, according to the U.N. Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the liaison agency for national and charity relief efforts for Haiti. This is just the beginning of the April-October rainy season, but OCHA spokesman Kristin Knutson says that relocation must be ruled out. She stated this in her comments to Agence France Press, in their write-up today on the flood threat affecting 21 camps, out of the 350-400 camps throughout the flood-prone quake zone. Knutson rationalized the OCHA policy, by invoking the cover-up that people should have the choice to stay in familiar surroundings, and where they prefer. In reality, this means, putting them in danger of mass death.

Knutson said, "The problem with the rainy season is, it is a very indefinite deadline... Relocation is what people focus on beause it's very visual—you can see the site, and, because of all the dynamics of identifying the land, buying the land." But, she continued, it's not the way to go. "It's dramatic. But there are other choices that are available for people, and if they are better for people, and they are available, we want them to take them. We want people to be where they want to be."

President Obama is following this very same deadly policy, having refused early on, to arrange for mass evacuation to safety. This is in line with the London-dictated "philanthropic genocide" practiced by the web of agencies associated with Bill Gates, George Soros, Warren Buffett, et al.

Statesman Lyndon LaRouche, Jr., who calls for Obama's impeachment on this and related grounds, issued a call Feb. 22 for mass relocation of people away from the Port-au-Prince quake and flood zones to safe ground, both to save lives immediately threatened, and also as part of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-led infrastructure-building program, using CCC-type projects. There is widespread agreement for this approach, but the Obama Administration is pulling out even the U.S. medical and military logistical support originally sent to Haiti for relief.

OCHA has set a deadline of May 1 to provide all 1.3 million Haitian camp-dwellers with a "tarp or tent" to shelter them against the rain, but leave them vulnerable to floods and disease in the putrid camps.
