Haiti: Disaster And Recovery

William Daniels arrived in Haiti ten days after the apocalyptic earthquake of January 12th. The world had been watching in disbelief horrific images of mountains of bodies burning in the streets or thrown in mass graves. However, in spite of the fact that the devastating consequences of the earthquake were still visible, there already were signs of life getting back to normal

During the short time he spent there he saw the situation begin to evolve. Kids were beginning to play football again, some smiles were back on people's faces, and barbers who had lost their shops in the quake were working in the street. William could feel and see that people were trying to get back to some kind of 'normal life'. But behind these early signs of a return to normality, a huge and concentrated humanitarian crisis is slowly taking root.

View the rest of the images here.
