Haiti needs more help

 Unable to achieve the media headlines due to Afghanistan news, the earthquake in Haiti has inflicted more pain upon the already suffering Haitian people.

The earthquake killed more than 2,000 people and injured almost 10,000 in Haiti had left the Caribbean nation "on its knees", Prime Minister Ariel Henry said.

"We need help," said Roosevelt Milford, a pastor speaking on radio on behalf of the hundreds camping out in soggy fields since the quake destroyed their homes.

Milford and others complained they lacked even the most basic provisions, such as food, clean drinking water, and shelter from the rain.
