From Montreal La Presse: A man rescues a child from the debris of a building in Haiti

Graphic and tragic. The loss of life is mounting, and thousands upon thousands of people in Haiti are homeless, injured, and in shock. Many are without food, water, medical aid, or shelter. “Desperation” seems a grotesque understatement here.

The Red Cross has released this disturbing photo essay video of the heartbreaking devastation that has bludgeoned Haiti following yesterday’s earthquake.

From US Post Today, Haiti Earthquake Update: International aid efforts for Haiti under way:

International efforts to help Haiti in the wake of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake are under way, with governments across the world and aid agencies mobilising search and rescue teams and aid supplies.

Although the full scale of the disaster has yet to emerge, it is clear that it will pose a huge challenge.

Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere, is still struggling to recover from devastating hurricanes in 2008.

It needs all kinds of help, from emergency and medical aid, to food aid, to the longer-term rebuilding of infrastructure.
