2010 Haiti earthquake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 views

  • Amongst the widespread devastation and damage throughout Port-au-Prince and elsewhere, vital infrastructure necessary to respond to the disaster was severely damaged or destroyed. This included all hospitals in the capital, together with air, sea, and land transport facilities, as well as communication systems. Due to this infrastructure damage and loss of organisational structures, a spokeswoman from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs called it the worst disaster the UN had ever confronted.

      I feel bad for all the people dying from this disaster. Earthquake is something that can't be predicted. Thus, I hope that there can be someone in the future inventing some equipment that can predict when and where Earthquake will take place.

Pambazuka - Haitian diary: Five years in darkness - 0 views

  • Rea explained the last 12 months as follows. First we had the earthquake; then the rains; then the hurricane; then cholera; today the elections and now from today the protests against the elections. If Celestin wins then there will be more problems and street protests. If Martelly wins there will be dancing on the streets and protests by those who could not vote.

Haiti's mass graves swell; doctors fear more death - Yahoo! News - 8 views

  • 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.

    "When questioned by journalist Ansel Herz about the stalling of a wage increase from $3 to $5, Farmer, the new voice of the occupiers, also stalled as he seemed to have forgotten his own treatise on 'pathologies of power'."

The Uses of Paul Farmer » Counterpunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names - 0 views

  •  
    I asked Samuel Maxime, editor of Defend Haiti, an online news magazine popular with the Haitian diaspora, what he thinks of Farmer today. He said it's hard to criticize anyone working on health in Haiti because lives are at stake. Indeed, this makes it difficult to subject Farmer or any humanitarian to critique. But meaningful accountability is precisely what's been missing from the aid sector. Farmer himself made the point in our first interview. "Nonetheless, I think Farmer is a large part of the machine that enables corruption in Haiti," Maxime continued. "In the grand scheme of things I believe someone like Farmer, who knows right from wrong, integrity from corruption, and looks the other way as he does - he enables it, in fact, like MLK Jr. would say - they are complicit in it."
