One Million Homeless After Haiti’s Hurricanes

September 16th, 2008

Hatian flooding

A million are left homeless in Haiti after hurricanes.

The series of hard-hitting storms back to back in Haiti could have left about 1 million of the country’s citizens homeless, says Prime Minister Michele Pierre-Louis. A total of four storms (Faye, Gustav, Hanna and Ike) slammed the nation in just a few weeks, destroying towns and killing over 550 people. Pierre-Louis appealed to the international community to help Haiti. “We need major support and it is time for the world to understand that. We’ve suffered too much in this country,” she said. A portion the city of Gonaives will have to rebuild somewhere else due to damage it suffered from the hurricane. She also told the BBC that if things don’t get better in the nation soon, she could be ousted from office by angry citizens. Even before the killer storms pummeled the tiny island nation, it had the dubious distinction of being the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and many were starving to death.

The reason why the President can not help, because this is not a priority of his. Republicans, always need an headline to keep going so, they don’t have to deal with the real issues at hand. Katrina hit har in Louisianna, and now Haiti. This country can help every other country, except all that are dominantly black.

Its time that a change be made in the country of Haiti. Going from the richest to the poorest. Its time we get together and pull these people out of the slump that disaster has created for them. Prayer and lots of help will pull this country back to where it once stood.

The president has no incentive to help Haiti. He cares less about them than he dit the “refugees” in New Orleans.

“HATITI”..Has stoped kissing Americas White asses so they won’t get any aid. If they were to say today we will let you set up and run a few Military bases here Hatiti would be hailed as a ..”Friendly democratic nation”..That needs the help of its..” American Friends and Citizens”.

WE as a nation must stop, watch and pray for those who are affected by these natural disasters. If the Lord puts it on your heart to give or volunteer, please do so, you will be richly blessed!!!

We need to help our people. Haiti needs us right now. I know there are alot of us with clothes hanging in the closet that we have not worn or probably won’t be wearing. Give that stuff to the people of Haiti. Support the fund raisers ohn thier efforts to help the country. I am! We can’t sit around and wait on those republicans to do anything. They have proven to us over and over that they aren’t doing what they should be doing.

Where can I find out how to help Haiti? I am sick and tired of this fake leadership of our country! I wasn’t going 2 vote but now I am! I just feared of another 2000 election repeating itself. But atleast I will know where my vote went even if it doesn’t turn out how I expect…..

I’m feel bad for all the families who live Haiti right now. I hope that in time they will be able to rebuild and replace what was lost. I hope that the families are getting the help that they need.
