Haiti After the Hurricane: A Year Later People Are Still Going Hungry Haiti After the Hurricane
By LAURA RAYMOND and BILL QUIGLEY
Until the summer of 2008, Orlande Noel supported his family of eight by operating a trucking business in Gonaives, Haiti, a town of around two hundred thousand people.
A year later, only 30% of the mud that covered the city of Gonaives has been removed.
A year later, people still have no free, clean water; it must be bought from vendors on the street.
What to do?
Laura Raymond and Bill Quigley both work on global human rights at the Center for Constitutional Rights. Laura recently returned from Gonaives.
