MAR 17: "A RACE AGAINST TIME" SAYS UN SEC-GEN BAN KI-MOON

statement from the head of the UN on Haiti's upcoming rainy season:
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
“So far, we have distributed tents and tarpaulins to nearly 700,000 people among 1.3 million displaced persons. We will reach the rest by the end of next month. We have also identified five alternative sites around the capital, where we can move IDPs and where they will be safer and better cared for. But let me be clear, we are in a race against time.”
