Belize City, Thursday, November 6, 2008 ---  Belizean consumers have been watching with rage as world fuel prices have dropped from US$147 per barrel a few months ago to US$62 per barrel this week without the Barrow administration passing on any relief to the consumers at the fuel pump. Finally today, the UDP government, under pressure from the PUP and the business community, announced a sudden BZ$3 drop in pump prices. Why did the UDP punish Belizeans for so long before passing on the relief?

Belizeans living in a deplorable condition

Belize City, Thurs. Oct. 30th, 2008 - The country continues to labour under crisis conditions following prolonged flooding which has affected the southern, western and northern districts. Closer to home, many communities in the Belize district are currently being devastated by rising waters, and even closer to the city, residents of Belama Phase 3 are living in conditions which can only be classified as deplorable, unsanitary and unsafe.

Belize City, Thurs. Oct. 30th, 2008 - In a time when there is so much sad news reported and so much assistance needed to aid those victims of flood here in the country, today yet another disaster struck, and there is another urgent need for more assistance.
