Haiti: The Need is Overwhelming

On January 12, 2010, the eyes of the world turned to Haiti after a massive 7.0 earthquake shook the small country to its very core. Aftershocks continued for the next week, furthering the devastation.  An estimated 1 million people were left homeless, 300,000 people injured and 230,000 people died.

In late January, UN declared that the emergency phase of the relief efforts was drawing to close.  However, the need for relief will continue in the months (and perhaps years) to come.

 My uncle, Steve Ohnesorge, a reporter for WBTV in Charlotte, NC went to Haiti for a week to document both conditions and the relief efforts underway.  WBTV is airing the report series this week. Follow his story at here.
