Jan Vandemoortele Relief Quotations

Until now, everything has been focused on relief, relief, relief, and on saving lives. But now, people, including the non-governmental organizations, the civilian authorities, the military, and the U.N. colleagues are all starting to raise questions about how to make the transition from relief to recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction.

Yes, we are keeping an eye on that and trying to deliver as many relief goods as possible before rains start again.

The race to provide suitable shelter in time is not lost yet, but the consequences of failure, resulting from the lack of relief funds, could result in the deaths of vulnerable people.

Its objective is to support the long-term road to recovery by bringing the end of the relief operations and the start of reconstruction.
