Not your house
More than 1300 tent camps are housing 1.3 million people in Haiti displaced by a powerful earthquake. The quake killed more than 200,000 people and destroyed or damaged more than 230,000 buildings and houses.
Seven months after the earthquake devastated Haiti on January 12, more than one million survivors continue to live in appalling conditions, with inadequate sanitation, limited access to services and food shortages.
Conditions in many of the camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) around the capital, Port-au-Prince, are extremely critical. Residents continue to live in shacks held up by rags and poles. There are no schools or electricity, sanitation is poor and the water barely drinkable. When heavy rain falls, garbage rushes through the camp.
The situation in unofficial camps is even worse. Throughout the city, unofficial camp residents receive little or no care from large aid organizations or international coordinating bodies; many have even been told leave the camps but have not been provided with alternative housing.
