"The Sound of Screaming Is Constant" - Haiti Devastated by Massive Earthquake, Desperat... - 0 views
-
A desperate search for survivors continues, but rescuers lack heavy lifting equipment and are often using their bare hands.
-
corey stanley on 15 Jan 10this will takee way to long to try to help people get from under buildings and help them live, something has to be done.
-
Allesia EWSIS on 15 Jan 10This is a tragedy. Bodies in the street just lieing there and no equipment to get them off the street. i know that we all have our diffrences but they need help and we need to help them.
-
Jose EWSIS on 15 Jan 10bare hands will not get the job done. This is a horrific event and i hope things will begin to get better for them.
-
Yanira EWSIS on 15 Jan 10I think that there should be more first aid kit sent to them because it seems like they are also dying do to the lack of supplies
-
Dylan EWSIS on 15 Jan 10This is crazy as if the country wasnt already in enough trouble, then this happens. These people need every sort of aid they can recieve whether it be prayers or money donated or food and supplies.
-
qixun cai on 15 Jan 10i hope many people under the ruins can be saved
-
Raymond EWSIS on 15 Jan 10poorness+earthquake wow. Thats just bad luck. They need help quick.
-
-
Yeah, we need agents. We need emergency. There is no help, no hospital, no electricity, nothing. No food, no phone, no food, no water, nothing. There are too many people dying.
-
The people of Haiti will not survive if something is not done quickly, with no water, no hospitals its impossible to survive.
-
There are many agencies and people trying to send donations, giving money, and trying to help. This poor country was not prepared for this damage and people will help.
-
However other countries are hastly trying to get there and aid the people. It's not just hundreds of people that we are talking about, its over thousands. Agencies are desperately trying to get there and give out help. I really hope they make it through. God bless

We had one nurse at our hotel, so he was out front helping people who were coming in who were injured. When word got out that there was a nurse at our hotel, people just started bringing their injured family members to the hotel. I was deputized by the nurse to help in whatever way I could. So he would tell me where a broken bone was, and I had to learn on the sly how to make a splint.

HAITIAN MAN 1: Yeah, we need agents. We need emergency. There is no help, no hospital, no electricity, nothing. No food, no phone, no food, no water, nothing. There are too many people dying.

What’s really eerie is the sound of just screaming, which is constant. I can hear it right now. It’s just people either singing and praying or just really loud screams.
-
This part really striked me because there is all this screaming of people how need help, but no one has the resouces or skills to help them.
-
I tried to imagine this scene and all I can do is flinch. It's really heartbreaking to hear that these people are screaming for help and praying for their lives.

The World Health Organization said it had sent specialists to help clear the city of corpses, and the International Red Cross was sending a plane loaded mainly with body bags. Medicine, food and water are in short supply. And Haitians are desperate for aid.
-
The injuries just kept coming all day long—head injuries, people with multiple broken legs, people catatonic who couldn’t speak. Everybody is asking for medicine. You know, we don’t have basic—we don’t have Advil.
-
It’s hard to describe. I was working on a boy who his father was there speaking in Creole, so we were trying to get a good translation, but basically what he explained was that their house collapsed, and he got out, but his son was trapped under the rubble. But he could—his son could still yell, and they spent all night trying to find him, and finally they dug him out, and they brought him to our hotel, because there was one nurse at our hotel.
-
The situation is increasingly desperate, with no coordinated rescue plan so far and aid only trickling in.
-
This just makes me even sadder. I feel like even though different countries are trying to do something, whether it's giving aid, providing food and water, or medicine, it's still not enough. I can't imagine what the death tool will be.
-
This is horrile that it has been 3 days now and people are still just getting help, there should be much mor ebeing done, and it makes me very sad to hear they are getting very little help in such a devastating situation.
-
i think this sucks because, the people here have nothing and that they probably don't even know if they are going to sere the next day because of the conditions there.
-
i dont think that thisis fair to hatians because they are a very poor country and on top of that, this occured. This was their worst earthquake in 200 years. I deffinetly want to help out

Much of the capital city of Port-au-Prince has been leveled, leaving tens of thousands of people homeless.
-
Planeloads of rescuers and relief supplies are said to be on the way from the European Union, from Canada, Russia and Latin American nations. Two US aircraft carriers are also expected to arrive soon.
-
It’s just people either singing and praying or just really loud screams. And there’s been a lot of tremors over the last two days, so when the earth shakes again, much more mildly, people start to scream again. So it’s a really eerie sound.
-
Yeah, we need agents. We need emergency. There is no help, no hospital, no electricity, nothing. No food, no phone, no food, no water, nothing. There are too many people dying.

The injuries just kept coming all day long—head injuries, people with multiple broken legs, people catatonic who couldn’t speak. Everybody is asking for medicine. You know, we don’t have basic—we don’t have Advil. We didn’t have gauze. We don’t have hydrogen peroxide. Like, it was one nurse and me, who happened to be a guest at this hotel because my wife is doing HIV work in the country. I happened to be there to help this nurse, but I have no medical training, and I just had to do whatever he explained to me to do.
-
This is very sad that there is not enough medicine there to help the injured. The other thing is that Mr. Jesse Hagopian was brave enough to stay and help out the victims, its sad yet one thing remains alive humanity, meaning to say people are selfless when helping people.
-
This is really sad no medidcine and one nurse that can help. I want to help badly but theres nothing one teen can do so i would do the best i can to help them
-
-
We need help. We need help, international help. We ain’t got no help.
-
I think that people should really help out in any way possible. I mean even if its just donating a few dollars.
-
They need international help. It is the only way of recovering from this disaster. We as Americans have to send as much aid as possible.
-
They really need help you can see by the photos and the and the peoples cries for help.
-
People need help, any help. I think we should donate anything because they need everything,
-
Help.How impotant word. They need help.From all over the world. we should try our best to help them
-
-
people who were coming in who were injured. When word got out that there was a nurse at our hotel, people just started
-
-
It almost certainly will reach into the tens of thousands but could possibly be 100,000 or more. Bodies lie in the streets and collapsed buildings, and the cries of people buried beneath the rubble continue to ring out.
-
The city’s infrastructure took a blow of incalculable proportions as hospitals, schools, hotels and markets have crumbled.
-
This is crazy these people have no way of contacting family who are worried on the other side of the world, and cannot even help themselves to try and feel better.
-
well i feel really sad about whats happening in Haiti,because some people dont knoe where their rest of their family at. and they really wan to know hoe their health is. And i am really worried mostly about the children.

After watching the video, I was utterly speechless. It's really sad to know that another country is in desperate help of need, especially when they weren't in a good state before.Having a massive earthquake hit a city that;s already in poverty is really devastating. The situation is almost similar to that of the tsunami that happened just a few years ago. Other countries are contributing by sending over aid and people to help revive the city and help the people. Most of the buildings have collapsed and many of the few buildings had cracks. It's very interesting to hear about different people who were visiting Haiti speak about their experience during the disaster. Over thousands of people in Haiti are currently homeless and injured. A person walking by would be able to witness bodies being crushed by concrete and bodies covered by a sheet of blanket laying on the floor. The country is now short in water supply, food, money,and many important factors. People are desperate for aid and money. I think it's great that other countries aren't just standing by and not doing anything. I hope in the future, they will be able to revive most of the damaged buildings and maybe the people there will find jobs and homes again.
