the report

Blog entries
5 July 2010 After every emergency – humanitarian speak for disaster – there will invariably be the look-back reports, one month on, two months on, three months on, one year on etc. We are busily preparing the six months on, at the moment, collecting facts, photos, case studies, to inform the public and especially the [...]

the insecurity

Blog entries
24 June 2010 It has been raining a lot, lately, and life in the camps must be miserable right now, more miserable even than before.

Blog entries
3 April 2010 There are 1.16 mln people living in the spontaneous camps that sprung up around Port-au-Prince after the earthquake, according to the latest registration figures from the UN agencies in Haiti. Just think of that for a moment, 1.16 mln on a total population of perhaps 8-9 mln, that is almost 15%!! One [...]

the rain

Blog entries
24 March 2010 It has started to rain during the day, occasionally. And the rains during the night have become heavier, with thunder and lightning. The rainy season is slowly creeping upon us. I have indicated several times already that this is going to be another disaster, especially for the people in the camps. In [...]
