I bookmarked this article because it is written from the perspective of Haitians. The writer is resenting the way the media is showing the earthquake itself, oftentimes overly exaggerating what is going on in Haiti. "I am focusing now on what is essential in life: love and friendship. Like most people here, I am not watching the news. We have limited power, and anyway it seems futile and even absurd to be a spectator of my own life, especially when the TV images highlight only the misery of our country. Many of us Haitians are offended by the coverage of the earthquake. Once more, a natural disaster serves as an occasion to showcase the impoverishment, to exaggerate the scenes of violence that are common to any catastrophe of this type." The author does mention in the article that many Haitian victims are even more hurt by the other foreign media because many of them exaggerate the situation.

St. Juste, a 36-year-old bus driver, wakes up every day and goes out to find food and water for his daughter. "I wake up for her," he said. "Life is hard anymore. I've got to get out of Haiti. There is no life in Haiti."

  I wonder if her mother died in the rubble? This poor man has to watch his little daughter on his own and wake up everymorning and leave her to get her food and water. I wonder how she feels when she is left alone. Who does he leave her with?

There was another earthquake that just made the situation worse. There was an aftershock on Wednesday, and buildings broke down and people ran out on the streets running. "The most powerful aftershock yet struck Haiti on Wednesday, shaking more rubble from damaged buildings and sending screaming people running into the streets eight days after the country's capital was devastated by an apocalyptic quake." l just hope that there are no more earthquakes in this area, people there are already suffering from their loss of family members and properties..

Its horrible that survivors are now dying. They already been through the worst but now have to face even more struggles. Some of them are getting diseases as they wait laying under tents for doctors to save them. Some of them have big wounds and its not being treated. Their getting diarrhea and other sicknesses that can possibly kill them. Living in overcrowded tents and unsanitary conditions also add to the death tolls. Its already at about 200,000.
