Oxfam calls for greater Dominican government action against disasters
Oxfam slams Dominican government's 'lack of resolve' against disasters
In a statement issued by Intemón Oxfam (Spain), last week, the non-governmental organization warned of the Dominican Republic’s vulnerability to natural hazards and regretted the Government’s 'lack of resolve' to deal with the situation.
'The numerous damages in human, material and of losses in the means of living related to natural threats are the result of, mainly, the Dominican Government’s lack of resolve in assuming its responsibility and its commitments in relation to Disaster Risk Reduction' said the statement.
