Situation In Haiti


These poor people have nothing left after an earthquake hit them on January 12, 2010. The workers in Port Au Prince are currently trying to bury 10,000 victims in the hills, while others are still dying from injuries. They have made makeshift camps for the injured, but there is fear off disease spreading to hundreds of thousands of people. The death toll is 200,000 according to the Haiti Government. There are currently around 1400 flights waiting because they can only take 120-140 flights a day. Some say the bodies of children are scattered everywhere, making it unbearable to see. U.S. soldiers are working with the Haiti Government to keep order in the lawless streets. Some are saying that they need more help because they are not getting as much help as promised.
