‘Three years to clear Haiti rubble’

IT will take three years to clear the rubble left by Haiti’s devastating earthquake, said President Rene Preval, who admitted even he’s still afraid to sleep under concrete in case another quake strikes.

Preval said Haiti faces a long reconstruction process that will result in fewer people living in the capital, Port-au-Prince.

“It will take 1,000 trucks moving rubble for 1,000 days, so that’s three years. And until we move out rubble, we cannot really build,” Preval said.
