PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Desperate Haitians turned rubble-strewn streets
and parks into makeshift hospitals and refugee camps on Thursday in the
absence of any noticeable response from authorities in Haiti after
Tuesday's earthquake.
World | Natural Disasters
With the 7.0 magnitude earthquake collapsing the presidential palace, a
string of ministries and the headquarters of the U.N. peacekeeping mission
in the country, Haiti faces a dangerous vacuum in security and government.
The Caribbean nation of 9 million people, the poorest in the western
hemisphere, has a turbulent history of conflict, social turmoil,
dictatorship, fragile institutions and devastating natural catastrophes.
Many in the capital Port-au-Prince picked away at shattered buildings with
bare hands, sticks and hammers hoping to find loved-ones alive. Thousands
of homeless people began to set up their own camps anywhere they could,
the biggest right opposite the collapsed presidential palace.
"Look at us. Who is helping us? Right now, nobody," said Jean Malesta, a
19-year-old student who was the only survivor when her apartment building
collapsed from the powerful quake that has killed thousands, possibly tens
of thousands.
She and a dozen others lay under a tent they had set up in the park
opposite President Rene Preval's palace. His weak and under-resourced
government appears totally unequipped to handle the crisis, its officials
in disarray and nowhere to be seen.
