国际援助国承诺向海地援助数十亿美元，帮助海地在今年的灾难性地震后进行重建。
星期三在纽约的联合国总部举行的国际援助国会议上，各国承诺的援助金额已经超过大会预期的筹款目标一半以上，大会希望能为海地重建筹集38亿美元。美国国务卿希拉里.克林顿代表美国承诺捐助10多亿美元。欧盟承诺援助16亿美元。
联合国秘书长潘基文说，他希望海地能够获得“大范围的全国性重建”，将不仅仅是修缮1月的七级地震造成的结构性破坏，而是一个更为彻底全面的重建。他说，海地重建过程将是数十年来空前规模和范围重建一个国家的演练。
International donors are pledging billions of dollars in assistance to help Haiti recover from this year’s devastating earthquake.
A donor’s conference at U.N. headquarters in New York Wednesday is more than halfway toward its target – commitments of $3.8 billion in aid for the Caribbean nation.
On behalf of the United States, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pledged more than $1 billion. The European Union promised a $1.6-billion grant for Haiti.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he envisions “wholesale national renewal” for Haiti, a project more sweeping than simply repairing structural damage left by January’s 7.0-magnitude quake. Mr. Ban says the rebuilding process in Haiti should be an exercise in nation-building on a scope and scale not seen in generations.
