Weekly Haiti Electoral Update # 3 by Stanley Lucas

Eight Months - Still under Rubble
Haiti continues to struggle after the January 12 earthquake.

Sunday will mark eight months since that tragic day, and, unfortunately, will mark little progress on the reconstruction front.

Only 2% of the rubble has been removed.

Port-au-Prince has an estimated 28 million cubic meters of debris.

Worse, more than 2 million people are living in 1,370 makeshift camps with no estimate of when they might receive more permanent housing.

Most of the aid organizations on the ground - while very good in intention - are inefficient with little coordination among the organizations and almost no accountability for spending the money.
