(January 13, 2010)  Congresswoman Shelley Berkley has expressed her sympathies for the people of Haiti and for members of the Haitian-American community in Nevada and nationwide who have lost loved ones in the devastating 7.0 earthquake that struck the island nation.

“My condolences go out to members of the Haitian-American community in Nevada and nationwide who have missing or injured relatives or friends on the island or who have lost loved ones in the earthquake.  Today I join in expressing my profound sympathies for the people of Haiti and I pledge my support for relief efforts to aid the victims of this natural disaster,” said Berkley.  “Americans support ongoing global relief efforts by the U.S. and other nations and by non-government organizations working around the clock to treat victims and to provide food, water and shelter during this time of crisis.  Our hearts and prayers today are with the victims, survivors and all those individuals who are there providing vital aid to the residents of Haiti.”
