Información recibida en relación con la crisis humanitaria y ambiental que padece el pueblo Raizal de las islas de Vieja Providencia y Santa Catalina, pertenecientes al Archipiélago de San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina, tras el paso de los huracanes Eta e Iota en noviembre de 2020. Casi dos años después del paso y daños causados por los huracanes, la población de la isla de 5000 personas, de la cual 4500 indígenas Raizales, sigue necesitando urgentemente ayuda para el restablecimiento de todas sus necesidades básicas afectadas, como: alojamiento, atención sanitaria, agua, saneamiento y alimentos. Los esfuerzos de reconstrucción del Gobierno, se están llevando a cabo sin tomar en cuenta las aspiraciones y las recomendaciones del pueblo raizal y de sus autoridades, ignorando su forma de vida y sus costumbres, así como el clima de las islas. Debido a la insuficiente adecuación de las nuevas viviendas a las condiciones climáticas de las islas, la situación queda crítica y conlleva el riesgo que las personas interesadas se desplacen de nuevo y se queden sin hogar cuando golpee el próximo huracán. Además, la prioridad acordada a las necesidades militares y de desarrollo económico sobre la satisfacción de las necesidades inmediatas de la población en términos de vivienda, alimentos, agua potable y saneamiento, y un medio ambiente limpio, significa una presión importante sobre el espacio vital de los Raizales que afecta negativamente su autodeterminación, sus derechos culturales y su derecho al desarrollo, con graves repercusiones sobre su sobrevivencia en tanto que pueblo.
