Jérémie ((ハイチ語:Jeremi)) is a commune and capital city of the Grand'Anse Department, in Haiti, with a population of about 31,000 (2003 census). It is relatively isolated from the rest of the country. The Grande-Anse River flows near the city. Jérémie is called ''the city of the poets'' because of the numerous writers, poets, and historians born there.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Jérémie - A view from our author )〕 In 1964, during the Jérémie Vespers, the Haitian army and the ''Tonton Macoutes'' massacred 27 people in Jérémie.〔''Bain de Sang,'' by 'Albert D. Chasagne〕 In the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, a food aid convoy transporting aid delivered to Jérémie Airport through Jérémie, encountered a hijacking attempt by 20 men, on 30 January 2010.〔Newser, ("Food convoy attacked by armed group in Haiti; UN warns of volatile security situation" ), ''Paisley Doods'', ''2 February 2010'' (accessed 3 February 2010)〕 Medical supplies have also been airlifted through the airport, due to the increase in medical needs from injured refugees arriving in the wake of the quake.〔''New York Times,'' ("Volunteers Fly Supplies Into Hard-to-Reach Areas" ), Shaila Dewan, 4 February 2010 (accessed 4 February 2010)〕 Roughly west of the city lies Navassa Island, which is claimed by Haiti and the United States. ==Facilities== The city has an airport, Jérémie Airport.
