Started to do some shopping today to feed journalists.Someone opened a market for us.one of few not damaged.
Communication is frustrating.Can’t reach people in Jacmel to get news.Can’t reach people around PauP.People are still remarkably calm
Workers trickling in,so many have lost their homes,all their belongings.How many have lost family,home,job,neighbors? Now what? Stay?
I’m hearing that they’re stacking up bodies along Nazon.I saw picture of a morgue and it was a blanket of bodies.Got some help at St Gerard!
if you send people to the stadium,they’re going to need some basics.if you send people to ChampMars,they’re going to need some basics.Water?
I’m finally able to get to my office.many journalists.internet is getting a bit slow.Bodies in piles.bodies along the road.body committees..
I don’t hear as much singing and praying tonight but I do hear planes in the distance. Help is on the way. There were approx 2 million in PauP [Port-au-Prince]
