Our Hearts Go out to the USA |
Contact: Rose Marie Harris Friday, September 02, 2005 – A message of condolence has been sent to the Government and people of the United States from the Government and people of Saint Lucia, following the death and destruction caused by hurricane Katrina. Special mention was made of the people of Louisiana and Mississippi. Acting Prime Minister Honourable Phillip J. Pierre says the images of death and destruction, displacement and dislocation, ache and pain the hearts of all in Saint Lucia just as they do others elsewhere around the world. “We in Saint Lucia understand the sheer anguish of victims and the magnitude of the challenge to emergency personnel, because we too know the cost of picking up the pieces in the trail of storms and hurricanes.” Minister Pierre said. Minister Pierre assured Americans of Saint Lucia’s deepest solidarity as they begin the rescue and recovery efforts in aftermath of hurricane Katrina. |
