U.N. chief criticizes pace of aid to Haiti

UN Relief Coordinator “Disappointed” in Haiti Response

In Haiti, the United Nations’ top humanitarian official has criticized his agency’s relief operations in the aftermath of last month’s earthquake. According to the Washington Post, Emergency Relief Coordinator John Holmes wrote an email to his deputies saying he was “disappointed” in the failure to set up enough shelters, latrines and other services for Haitians displaced by the earthquake. The email reportedly warns of political unrest and mass demonstrations unless relief efforts are improved.
