Tarpaulin cities

摘要

A Month after the catastrophic earthquake that flattened much of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, and according to the government killed perhaps 230,000 people, there has been some fragile progress. Hospitals are working, though not before thousands of survivors died of their injuries. The World Food Programme says that it has handed out a two-week supply of rice to 2.5m people in the capital and nearby areas. Most streets in Port-au-Prince have been cleared of rubble.
