Senegal's president says he will offer free land and "repatriation1" to people affected2 by the earthquake in Haiti.
塞内加尔总统称,他将向海地灾民提供免费的土地和“返回祖国”的机会。
President Abdoulaye Wade said Haitians were sons and daughters of Africa since Haiti was founded by slaves, including some thought to be from Senegal.
"The president is offering voluntary repatriation遣送回国 to any Haitian that wants to return to their origin," said Mr Wade's spokesman, Mamadou Bemba Ndiaye.
Tuesday's earthquake killed tens of thousands and left many more homeless.
Buildings have been reduced to沦于,变成 rubble碎石, the distribution of aid is slow, and people have been flooding out of the devastated5 capital, Port-au-Prince.
"Senegal is ready to offer them parcels of land地片 - even an entire region. It all depends on how many Haitians come," Mr Bemba Ndiaye said.
"If it's just a few individuals, then we will likely offer them housing or small pieces of land. If they come en masse全体地,一同地 we are ready to give them a region."
The spokesman emphasised that if a region was given, it would be in a fertile part of the country rather than in its parched炎热的 deserts, the Associated Press news agency reported.
