A first-person blog from Haiti:
Port-au-Prince is now a city where most people are sleeping outside at
night (estimates put it at 80 percent of the residents). I drove back
to our camp just after dark a couple of nights ago, rushing to meet our
own night-time curfew. At street corner after corner, people had
blocked access to their blocks by placing stones in the way. They
didn't want vehicles rushing blindly in and injuring sleeping families.
I looked up these blocks and saw winding ribbons of re-created
bedrooms, demarcated with bedsheets and string, as far as my eyes could
see in the dark.
