DriedPlum: Haiti really got punk'd.

started 193 days ago

Aside from the fact that we all know a 7.0 earthquake hit the country and now thousands of people are left homeless amongst thousands more dead, we've got some facts out already.

-UN mission already stationed previously got pwned.
-2/3rds of the country is completely demolished.
-Foreign aid isn't seeping in fast enough due to Haiti's predominantly undeveloped infrastructure.
-No law enforcement after disaster. Downtown of Port-au-Prince is suffering from massive crime waves including looting.
-A recent charity organization was questioned for corruption over the source of its relief funds. More aid suspended.
-Haiti has a rather bloody history with the first successful revolution against slavery and independence.
-Haiti's America's poorest and most miserable country long before the quake.
-0.2-0.25 megadeaths estimate at the time of this posting.

And apparently, all this is just the picture in the frame - not the whole thing.

    News flash!

    Haiti got hit by an earthquake. Again. 6.1 in the Richter scale. While people were struggling to earn a new glimmer of hope and aid still trickles slowly into the country, a new layer of chaos is coated on the disaster. Double kill.
