From DominicanToday.com:Santo Domingo.- "Exemplary" and "inspiring" is how the United Nations yesterday called Dominican Republic’s humanitarian response for Haiti after the January 12 quake that killed as many as 300,000 people and left 1.5 million victims.In a statement the United Nations System stressed "the limitless examples of “solidarity provided by the Government, civil society, the private sector and all Dominicans" to the Haitian people after the earthquake that devastated the impoverished nation more than seven months.It hailed the manifestations of aid and commitments that arose in Dominican Republic from the catastrophe’s onset as “innumerable," and in order to “provide aid and protection to the catastrophe’s victims by using its own resources, also often limited and a display of solidarity and unconditional generosity to save lives and alleviate the immediate needs of the affected population.""The unity and inspiring humanitarian response given by the Dominican Republic to the earthquake’s victims have been and will continue being a model to follow for the rest of humanity," the UN System said.The recognition will be handed to president Leonel Fernandez today by UN representative in the country Valerie Julliand, to mark the World Day for Humanitarian Assistance, established in 2008.
