Anytime such suffering is experienced it really tears at the heart !!! Im very moved by the endless information coming in from that disaster. Aid has been poured into that area, but delivery and distribution is a logistical nightmare. Its really awesome  that in this day and age so many people still care about people.
What is equally disturbing are the some of the statistics of that area. (Haiti)
Port-Au-Prince is a city with the infrastructure for some 50,000 people. (estimate)
There are perhaps 2million ppl livng in that immediate area.
The average income is usually under $500 a year.
The average education level is very low.
Either an X-president, or the current one wrote a book in 2004 explaining that
 Port-Au-Prince was an accident waiting to happen.
I believe the city is located over several possible fault lines.
 
If only we had the insight to prevent such situations, so much despair, so much pain and suffering, helplessness. With the help of those that care, they will recover, but it will be a very costly one in life lost. Besides the earthquakes, they still have so much to get through before those that have survived will consider themselves "ok".

Just in case you haven't heard you can now text a $10.00 donation (which will be added to your cell bill).  

Go to Facebook and search Red Cross.  They have how to donate instructions and posting information as well.

Images from this event have hit me pretty hard.  Watching the news last night hurt.  Even though there were over 250,000 dead from the Tsunami a few years ago, there was almost nothing left because it washed away.  Less visual impact.  This time...]]> Thu, 14 Jan 2010 16:25:38 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1030&PID=9063#9063 Haiti Death Toll : The Red Cross says that an early... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1030&PID=9062#9062 Author: TerryM

The Red Cross says that an early guess of 45,000 to 50,000 deaths from the earthquake.  This was based on information from the Haiti government and the Red Cross in Haiti.
