The 7.0 magnitude earthquake that destroyed Haiti last Tuesday has left the city of Port-au-Prince in ruins. The doctors and people in need are searching for more help. The looters are fighting to death over basic necessities such as toothpaste, and doctors do not have enough of the right tools to save all the injured people they find.
A well recognized photo from national newspapers this month was that of latex-gloved hands delivering tetanus vaccinations to Haiti’s earthquake survivors. For some, it may have raised the question of how this was a priority for people who were physically able to stand in line but still were without life-sustaining food and water.
