This is a really good story that aired Sunday on 60 Minutes. It touches on many of the issues that people are really frustrated with. Government says its a lack of money. NGOs say its the government interference or worse. And the international community is too nervous to make good on their commitments.
I've driven past those tents on the road to Carrefour many times and have distributed medicines in that tent city. We've also donated to that Partners in Health Hospital.
It's a bad sign that it takes seeing it on film to make me remember how bad it is down there. It has all started to become the new reality for people in Haiti and it's not hard to imagine a future where those tents and those camps just become the norm.
