Haiti facing storm 'catastrophe'

Unfortunately, Haiti really has everything going against it. The heart wrenching video shows the anguish & sorrow of its citizens, without any real coordinated aid saving them or effort helping their dire situation. I have a dry bed to sleep in at night, but realize that's because I was born in America with the odds in my favor & what we expect in a wealthy country. However, there’s not a whole lot separating any of us from being in their predicament, other than the luck of the draw from Mother Nature. For that, I am filled with as much gratitude as I am sadness knowing that too many people face too many struggles in a world where it shouldn’t be the case as often as it is, mostly because it’s not newsworthy.

And we moan here in the UK about the bad weather. I can't begin to imagine how desperate the people of Haiti must be - as if life wasn't difficult enough there already.

This is horrible. Why isn't the mainstream media reporting on this? The world's attention needs to be focused on the plight of Haiti.

The country was already in desperate need of aide from the global community.

I feel foolish....sitting here in this position, and seeing these human beings in Haiti suffering. Not only do they have to deal with the lack of food where they are. But, now they have to suffer at the hands of nature. Again, I feel like a fool for looking down on my current situation, knowing thay so many others have it worse than I do.

nothing like kicking people when they're down. i feel bad for you haiti.

I regret seeing Haiti in trouble. People who love that country, for his great history connected to Toussaint l’Ouverture’s exploits ( In 2009 It will come out his autobiographical movie, produced by Danny Glover, starring Angela Basset and others good american actors) must reflect upon the difficult life conditions of Haitians.

It's not just Haiti which is affected. There's severe flooding in the Dominican Republic too. And Hanna's now forecast to move over the northern Bahamas and is due to hit the US coast near the North Carolina-Virginia border at the weekend.

and it seems weather is just going to get worse and worse as the years go by..

INCREDIBLE. Every picture does tell a story.
