The true reality of a South Haiti resident after the Earthquake and Tropical Storm Grace

"Imagine that: Your house is destroyed with everything you had inside and you didn't save anything. You don't have clothes to wear, you don't have food, you don't have money, you're sleeping in the streets, the ground keeps shaking, it is raining, you don't know what to do. That is the reality in the south of Haiti right now."

These are the words of Jean Gardy Forge, a Haitian citizen, on social media.

What he said is not far from the reality on the ground in south Haiti right now.

I heard personally a Whatsapp message that was sent from a friend in Les Cayes Haiti to another friend in Port-au-Prince where he described how he left his house in the nick of time with only a pair of shorts.

"A neighbor gave me a pair of sneakers and a t-shirt to wear. The house collaped with everything inside," he said.
