Haitians has to coop with Hurricane Hanna and Ike. not only they will coop, they will also survive and forget.
Noone is responsible,
All Haitians have endured so much over their lifetimes: extreme poverty, political turmoil, gang violence.
They are accustomed to disaster.
But this natural catastrophe, death too from hurricane Hannah and Ike, may well have been made worse by man.
What is most noticeable about the range is that it is almost devoid of trees.
Haitians cook using charcoal and have felled almost all of the timber, thus exposing themselves to landslides in heavy rain.
The fresh thick gouges in the hillsides, the topsoil gave way and millions of gallons of mud and water poured into the valley below.
One question is beginning to be asked: What should happen to Gonaive when the waters finally recede?
