Survivors ‘sleeping next to dead bodies’
This is the word from Dublin charity Haven which confirmed yesterday that all of its staff and beneficiaries in Haiti are alive and well, following the earthquake. It said the houses that were built by Haven volunteers in October last year are all still standing.
“The first personnel from our joint emergency response with Irish NGO GOAL arrived in Port au Prince on Wednesday and more will be arriving there in coming days. They are assisting our Haitian staff and partner organisations on the ground with the relief effort,” said a Haven spokeswoman.
