I've been watching the news and they're still trying to recover what has happened. They're still finding people who's been hiding under blocks under a few days. They just found a 24 year old man not too long ago. I seen them pulling him out in a stretcher as he lay there wounded and unconcious.

They're doing really bad down there. Haiti needs desperate help right now. The people are suffering from hunger, thrist for water and a home to live in. Some people had been living off of rice & beans
The country is so poor, a haitian woman had to feed her baby some piss as an attempt to keep her alive.

On Tuesday, President Rene Preval presided over a ceremony on the outskirts of the capital, Port-au-Prince, at a mass grave where tens of thousands of quake victims are buried. Mr. Preval was joined by other officials and by his wife as they paid their respects to the dead.

The powerful, 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the impoverished Caribbean nation just before 5:00 p.m. local time on Tuesday, January 12, 2010. The quake - the most powerful to strike Haiti in more than 200 years - left much of the capital and surrounding areas in ruins and people buried under tons of rubble.

The presidential palace and the headquarters of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Haiti were among the buildings that collapsed in the quake. More than 100 members of the U.N. mission were killed, including the mission chief, Hedi Annabi, and his deputy, Luiz Carlos da Costa.

Please do not blame God. Bad things happen, everything happens for a reason...
