Humanitarian Relief Underway In Haiti After Earthquake
Newsy
The United States Agency for International Development announced $32M towards things like food, safe water, health care, shelter and protection.
A 7.2 magnitude earthquake followed by a tropical storm left more hurt and more damage in a country all too familiar with disaster. Weeks later, people are coming together to help communities in southern Haiti that remain in need. The government of Haiti reported more than 12,200 injured, more than 2,200 dead, more than 300 missing and nearly 130,000 homes damaged or destroyed, according to USAID. "Desperation would be the word I would associate with it," said Jean Wesly Alcin of recovery efforts. "Honestly I don't see any recovery. There are people that are still waiting for water, like basic needs."More Related News
