Tent camp in Port Au Prince removed as people struggle for shelter

On Wednesday the House passed a bill in support of debt relief for Haiti. Lawmakers want the Treasury secretary to instruct directors at the IMF, the World Bank and the Inter-American Development bank to cancel Haiti's debt - which stands at around 830 million dollars. Meanwhile, recovery efforts in Haiti continue.

This week, the International Office of Migration announced a plan to register thousands of Haitians living in makeshift camps in order to get survivors to adequate shelter before the heavy rains begin. An assessment by the agency in 21 congested sites found that 3,000 people living in camps in one area of Port Au Prince are at high risk of flooding. The United Nations claims it has distributed shelter materials to half of the people displaced by the earthquake. But in one area of the capitol, families who had shelter and a place to sleep are now back in the streets. FSRN’s Ansel Herz reports from Port-Au-Prince.
