Update from CAFOD website 2/4/2010:

Two months on

Two months after a massive earthquake devastated Port-au-Prince, leaving over 200,000 people dead, shelter for the displaced has become a major issue in Haiti. Mathilde Magnier, Caritas Communications Officer, Port-au-Prince reports.

Caritas focuses on the distribution of emergency shelter kits and works on relocating refugee camps out of the capital.

“Finally a tarpaulin to cover the house ! Tonight, our family will get better sleep,” said Mimose Petit. She holds firmly onto the orange and silver plastic tarpaulin she just received from Caritas. She tries to attach it on the wooden structure that gives her shelter, her “house” as she calls it.

Caritas is CAFOD's partner in Haiti.
