United States Pledges $65 Million in Aid to Haiti | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Late Friday at the UN General Assembly, the United States pledged an additional $65 million in aid to Haiti, while also urging the UN Security Council to formally back a multi-national security mission in the country. According to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, the money will go towards bolstering Haitian police and security forces along with logistical support to stabilize the country as Haiti has been under siege from extreme poverty, natural disaster, corruption and gang violence for years, but has been in particularly sharp decline since the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in July 2021. Director General of the Partnership for Church Reconstruction (Proche), which focuses on reconstructing Catholic Churches in Haiti, Stephan Destin, joins to share how bad things have gotten in Haiti and what his reaction to this renewed support is from the United States. The money is one thing, but people have given money to Haiti before just to be wasted by corruption. Destin explains how critical it is that this multi-national group get the security mission correct and helps stand up the police and good actors in the country. He tells us about his organization, what it does and how aid and security will impact his work. He fills us in on what the feeling in the country is right now. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
