Today is the six month anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Haiti and many people are asking, “What’s going on in Haiti?”
Despite the UN labelling the earthquake “the worst disaster ever confronted”, Haiti has dropped off the radar in terms of media attention. Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere, with chronic underlying poverty.
These problems have made coping with the earthquake even more difficult and progress in rebuilding has been slow.
Dabady Gina Fils, 31, from Jacmel, lost her house and small business in the earthquake. Six months on, supporting people to move from tents into transitional shelter is one of ActionAid’s top priorities.
