Haiti : A Nightmare Beyond Comprehension

Appalling scenes, as bodies are piled in the street and moved by diggers and bulldozers into trucks for transportation to mass graves.



Hundreds of thousands homeless in a city with no water, no food, nowhere to go :


A two day wait at hospitals, few working toilets or showers. Now the mass cremations have begun.

New York Times photographer Damon Winter (here for his photo gallery) :

"People are out on the street at night...all night you could hear them singing prayers. It’s pretty amazing the ways that people are dealing with this tragedy. It says a lot about the Haitian character. They are an amazing people."

The death toll looks likely to rise beyond 50,000.
