Haiti Disaster 2




There is no other word for it: Chaos. Thousands of Haitian's are being dug up from meters of concrete near broken buildings. Orphans are being sent to the US for better protection because no one can protect them with the crisis around them. US troops are doing the best to provide healthcare, but wounded citizens are dying right before their eyes: "It is a if living in a nightmare." 



Many Red Cross workers state "It it a very tough situation. Thousands of Haitian's on the streets need care immediately or they will die of bacterial infection or major blood loss. There are over 20,000 people waiting for food, water, and medication. I hope with all my heart that we will be able to help them, but so little time." 


Haitian orphan's are being relocated to the US and Canada as a result of the earthquake. Many websites; such as Youtube, Freerice, and other charity sites, have been raising money for Haiti from the number of views the site or video receives. Many new families are extremely happy together, mainly because the orphans were toddlers and don't remember their parents very well.


Haiti is holding together with our help, but for how long??

Anonymous caught your last sentence...I was struck by your first and the use of Chaos. It seems help has arrived, but then why are things not better? :-(
