“avant le séisme” in English
5 examplesNous avons souvent parlé de la situation haïtienne avant le séisme.

Before the earthquake, more than 70% of people in Haiti were living below the poverty line, and the country's foreign debt amounted to USD 890 million.
Des femmes et des jeunes filles vivaient déjà une situation terrible avant le séisme, et ce fait nous a amenés à refuser obstinément de reconnaître que des femmes et des jeunes filles sont victimes de violences sexuelles dans les camps d'accueil.
The fact that women and girls were already in a terrible position before the earthquake has led to our continuing reluctance to accept that women and girls in reception camps are being subjected to sexual violence.
Il faut se rendre compte que sur place, la situation déjà très difficile avant le séisme est devenue extrêmement difficile au lendemain du désastre, et plus encore par la suite à cause de l'ouragan Tomas, de l'épidémie de choléra et de l'instabilité politique.
One has to realise that the situation there, which was already very difficult before the earthquake, became immensely challenging in its aftermath and even more complicated later - due to Hurricane Tomas, the cholera epidemic and political instability.
