| Welcome! We encourage everyone to come and join us! |
| As you all know, Haiti is having many hardships at this time with the earthquakes and the poverty that existed and was very bad even before this country was in such ruins. Without many of the basics of everyday survival and basic medical care this country is in major turmoil right now. Louise Stott has asked us to put out the word that many donations are needed and that donations can be in the form of money, diapers, powdered formula, protein bars, peanut butter, vitamins, etc. As you may be aware she has been in the process of adopting three children from Haiti. Please call her at (603) 744-2385 for more information about how you can help. |
CNN NEWS>>>>>>>>>>> 70,000 deaths from Haitian quake recorded, Prime Minister says
Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- Haitian authorities have recorded more than 70,000 deaths since last week's magnitude 7
earthquake outside Port-au-Prince, the country's prime minister said Tuesday.
Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said that at least 72,000 bodies have been recovered since the quake. That figure does
not include bodies buried by families or collected by the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti.
Some death toll estimates for the earthquake, which struck just south of Port-au-Prince, range from 100,000 to 150,000 in
Port-au-Prince alone.
At least one person was pulled alive from rubble in Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, seven days after the earthquake. Ena Zizi was
rescued from rubble either at or near the national cathedral, CNN's Anderson Cooper reported.
Her son, Maxime Janvier, told CNN that he never gave up hope that she'd be found.
"We were praying a lot for that to happen," he told CNN on Tuesday afternoon, about 15 minutes after he learned she'd been
rescued.
A week after the January 12 earthquake, much of of the Haitian capital lay in heaps of rubble. Roads remained damaged and
a main port was still closed. Food, water and other aid has arrived, but some say the distribution of supplies is slow. More~
