Haiti, Two Months Later

From the editorial:

"Only half of those displaced have received even the crudest means of emergency shelter: plastic tarps and tents that will hardly protect them when floods start in earnest next month, and the hurricanes come in June."

...

"Weeks after the disaster, he said, several of the agency “clusters” in charge of handling needs like food and shelter had not even developed a basic overview of what they had to do, much less a plan."

...

"But there are thousands of others, like the small rural mission churches and other groups that right now are offering just pinpricks of relief."
