Bill Clinton und Obama unzufrieden mit Situation in Haiti

Port-au-Prince, Haiti.a woman sits with her children outside their home, which was damaged in the earthquake, in CiteÃ¿Ã¿ Soleil, one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Port-au-Prince, the capital. Humanitarian aid and services have been slow to reach the neighbourhood, in part due to its reputation as being unsafe. According to Government's report, 7.3 magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti on 12 January killed over 212,000 people, 1.1 million left homeless; about 450,000 of the displaced are children. In Port-au-Prince, more than 692,000 people continue to live in makeshift settlements, despite an exodus of up to 482,000 from the devastated city. The quake's epicentre was only 17 kilometres from Port-au-Prince, the capital, and needs remain great. Unaccompanied children who have lost or been separated from their families remain among the most vulnerable. The towns of Leogane and Jacmel were also affected. Social infrastructures in rural communities, hosting people who have fled disaster bottlenecks in the towns, are now also over-strained. In the capital, major government and private infrastructure have been destroyed or heavily damaged, including hospitals, water, sanitation and electrical systems, and telecommunications, banks and transportation networks. This latest catastrophe exacerbates Haiti's already critical humanitarian situation. An estimated 46 per cent of its nearly 10 million inhabitants are under age 18, and more than 78 per cent of the population lives on less than US $2.00 a day. URN:8555648
