International Save the Children Alliance Port-au-Prince, HAITI (9 April 2010) As the government of Haiti prepares to move thousands of vulnerable children and adults out of one of Port-au-Princes most crowded and dangerous displacement camps, Save the Children is working to ensure that children are protected throughout the process and as their families resettle in a new encampment outside the city. Approximately 5,000 people will move beginning this weekend from the camp at Petion-Ville Club, in greater Port-au-Prince, to a new emergency relocation camp at Corail Cesselesse, north of the city.
