Haiti quake victims 'still in state of emergency'

More than 70% of camps in Haiti, home to an estimated 1.3 million earthquake victims, lack proper international management nearly nine months after the disaster, leaving them at increased risk of sexual and gang violence, hunger and forced eviction, campaigners said.

Refugees International said researchers visiting Haiti found that few of the roughly 1,300 camps they studied had International Organisation for Migration-appointed officials to turn to for help and protection and are unable to communicate or co-ordinate with the international humanitarian community.
