Haiti 1 Month Later

On January 12, 2010 Haiti was struck by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. What is the condition of Haiti one month later?

Today Haiti observes a day of mourning to mark the one month anniversary of the devastating quake that killed more than 200,000 people and left an estimated 1.2 million people homeless.

A Thursday downpour (the first heavy rain since the earthquake) was a reminder that as the rainy season approaches, adequate shelter was still needed for the 1.2 million still sleeping in the streets. Many people lost everything in the earthquake, and have only the barest protection from the elements. Haitian authorities have warned the rainy season, which starts in March, is now the greatest threat the country faces.
