One Million Homeless After Haiti’s Hurricanes
September 16th, 2008
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.
THIS IS sooo sooo Sad our nation leaders need to come 2gther stop hating on Obama an focus on the NOW
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”.
The bush Government..One Million Less we have to worry about trying to get to America give them little aid .. let them die out. ..If they make it here they will vote Democrate.
