Hope amid the carnage

AMID the chaos and the carnage, a signal of hope and life emerges from the rubble and devastation of Haiti’s earthquake.

It came yesterday in the tiny form of two-year-old Redjeson Hausteen Claude as rescuers plucked him from the ruins of his home in Port-au-Prince.

This dramatic photograph captured the moment when Félix del Amo, a Spanish rescuer, pulled the terrified child from the collapsed house. Dirty and teary-eyed, the little boy’s eyes lit up as he was lifted into the arms of his parents, Daphnee and Reginald Claude.
