Haiti's Main Airport Opens After Months of Closure Due to Violence | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Haiti's main international airport is open for the first time in close to 3 months. The opening could make it easier for humanitarian aid to be delivered. The Caribbean nation has been besieged by gang violence since February, forcing authorities to close the airport. More than 2,000 people were killed or injured in Haiti from January to March. Director General of Proche, Partnership for Church Reconstruction, an organization set up by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops to reconstruct the Church in Haiti following the devastating 2010 earthquake, Stephan Destin, joins to share what the situation in Haiti is like right now and whether it has gotten any better since February when the current upheaval broke out. Destin tells us how his work and that of the Church has been impacted over these turbulent few months. He explains the significance of the airport reopening and how critical it is to aid efforts and the ability to provide basic services and needs throughout Haiti. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
