Haiti

The state of Haiti's children after the earthquake is very awful. They are all very sad, many kids have little food, water, shelter. Many diseases. Children are dying. Many children orphaned, and are held for adoption.

Their human rights are very limitedThey do not treat each other fairly. Haiti has some slavery. Some girls are forced to get married even when they are teenagers. Many have no right to voice their opinions. Their human development index 154 out of 172.

UN telling people to donate to Haiti on television. US army there trying to solve instability. Famous people, and the rich getting involved in earthquake by doing concerts, charities or donations. Haiti problems told on internet, and media.

A lot of people stealing food. A lot of violence from gangs, drugs, rebellions, and many homeless people. Gangs are controlling some of the streets of Port Au Prince. Corruption, environmental problems with a lot of deforestration. Slavery 17^th century, and wars 19^th century, colonial control, resources stolen from French, mountainous, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, massive instability. 1% own everything, and 99% own nothing. Many people migrate out to Dominican Republic or USA. Many people still very hungry, and too poor. Help not so quick. Too many leaving after earthquake. Needs a lot of aid. A lot of aid, but still not enough food. Prices have rocketed for goods. People dying. Aid isn’t coming so quickly.

A lot of poverty environmental degredation, violence, instability, rival gangs, and dictatorship. Human rights catasphoric. Mountanious country, corruption, migration out of here, 1% own everything. Export products very cheap, and can’t make much money. Haiti imports too many expensive goods.

It will struggle because a lot of infrastructure has been destroyed. The government is struggling. Has to evacuate people to safer areas. Will take 12 hours a day for the whole year to rebuild Port Au Prince. Government has collapsed so has the UN building.

Many people still homeless. UN is trying to help Haiti by giving food, and water. Trying to get help from everyone. Celebrities are singing songs so people can donate to Haiti. Recovering with more, and more people getting fed.

Haiti is slowly recovering from the earthquake. A lot of aid is being donated. The US is trying it's best to donate food. Haiti has also less hungry people compared to when the earthquake started. Lastly it's people are beggining to get their basic needs.

All of this information was found on the Mrs. P's Global Issues blog's videos, and the UN website.

Very awful progress of MDG’s. All goals cannot be achieved by 2015 deadline except for promoting gender equity. Percent of women in parliament is 4.1%. Life expectancy 58.3.
