The earthquake in Haiti is the worst natural disaster I can remember. The human suffering is unimaginable. Please don't forget about them. It will take a decade at least for them to recover and the aid workers on the ground are simply overwhelmed.
This is the best depiction I have found to actually get a sense of the enormity of this disaster. Look at these photos and really try to imagine what these people are going through. Subtleties like children with bandaged faces that are still covered in ash made my heart sink. Someone put a bandage on them, but didn't have time or water to clean their face first because so many others are waiting for treatment.
Yes, they had the audacity to put a commercial in front of it, but watch it anyway. There are almost 300 photos and if you can get through it without tearing up, you are stronger than me.
