12/01/2015 – January 12, 2015 marks the fifth anniversary of the 2010 earthquake which killed over 200,000 people and made more than two million people homeless in Haiti. Today, the housing situation remains an outstanding challenge for the Haitian government and the international community, according to Amnesty International’s recent report. We call upon the European Union (EU) and its member states to assist the Haitian authorities to ensure that post-earthquake reconstruction respects and fulfils the human rights of the Haitian population, including the right to adequate housing.
