The Aftermath

Jon Lee Anderson is in Haiti:

Many, many people are grievously injured. So many broken limbs, so many amputations! I have been told in hospitals that amputations due to infected or untreated wounds are on the rise, not the wane; it is very worrying, since so many of the patients are being treated and housed in the open air, in conditions less than sanitary, and the medium and long term rehabilitation and recovery of so many people has the doctors and nurses seriously concerned. People have died, and continue to die, because the aid took so long to reach them. That is the sad and awful fact of what has happened in Haiti over the past eleven days.
