I was in Haiti for 6 months back in 1996,working for the United Nations,when I was part of the Canadian military.
You might have heard in the news that it was a terrible place for something like this to happen.
This would be a major understatement.
These people have no understanding of what "comfort"is.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is no such word in CREOLE (their language).
I plead to the politicians to not use this as an opportunity to make themself look good.
Like some of them sometimes do.
I worked for a day,to help fix a wall at the jail in Port-au-Prince,I was very gratefull it wasn't anymore than a day.
The haitians need to deal with that to,because to prisoners that survived the building comming down escaped, obviously.
The people that can help really should.
It would be the human thing to do.
Cheers.

- Stupid people get mad at things,average people get mad at people,Smart people find solutions. Before you get mad again at what other people do,think about this.They are likely not doing this to get anyone mad.They don't think they are doing anything wrong and they might very well not be.Just because they are doing something else than what you would have done,doesn't make them stupid. Everyone has a reason for doing everything they do.or don't do.You have to sit back and ask yourself why,you might understand more people's behaviour. After all if we all were to think exactly the same way...it might be a very boaring world.
The purpose of life is not to be happy - but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all. You have done that...and by sharing your point of view now you continue to do so.
