"Haitians Face Eviction!" Haiti Falls off the News Radar/Bush/Clinton Initiative/


Haitians Face Imminent Eviction from Displaced Persons Camps

Reconstruction efforts in Haiti have barely begun 15 months after a devastating earthquake killed thousands and left more than 1.5 million people homeless. Hundreds of thousands of people still live in makeshift shelters in hundreds of tent camps across Haiti. Democracy Now!’s Sharif Abdel Kouddous reports from one of those camps and speaks with residents who face imminent eviction by landowners even though they have nowhere else to go.

2. I haven't seen them here, where I live...but there's no news on Cables about Haiti
which says to me this "report/article" from Democracy Now is True. Where are all those Millions Charities raised for Haitians from American Folks and People ALL OVER THE WORLD. How much do Tents Cost and water or Water Purification Systems Cost...a year later..?

How can it be that we couldn't help these people and that the Media Doesn't even talk about them?

5. Did we *ever* send that billion we (DC) said we were going to give?
Coburn put a secret hold on it at some point -- did it ever get there?

We don't get news on Haiti, either. But the Chimp ads and others still run in Atlanta.

3. I'm happy I didn't give their fund a dime. Sent my money to Doctors Without Borders
instead.

WHERE ARE THOSE MILLIONS THEY GOT FOR HAITI?
