Haiti Earthquake: No Food, No Water... And Gutters Running With Blood
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT Liz Hazelton 14th January 2010
16 Britons missing after quake rips island apart Hillary Clinton: 'Biblical' damage is on par with the 2004 Asian tsunami Aid workers begin to pour on to island as emergency fund launched. Britain pledges $10m in aid as Brown describes 'tragedy beyond imagination' Tens of thousands of people are facing a second catastrophe tonight as they struggled for survival on the devastated island of Haiti.
With no food, no water and no shelter, aid agencies were in a desperate race against time to save the victims of the earthquake. Witnesses described gutters running with blood and children sleeping among heaps of dead bodies after becoming separated from their parents.

The reporting is beginning to remind me of Hurricane Katrina coverage in New Orleans.
And this surprises you?
The thread title gives me hope.
Good to see that nothing’s changed in Haiti.
Disaster...yes. Help and compassion needed..yes. Prayers going out...yes. But the gutters running with blood....Melodramatic and untrue.
Haiti is like Ireland in the 1840s. Most of the people should just leave.
First, we have a democrat president now (a black one no less) which means ANYTHING he does will be spun as amazing.
Second, the Haitians are not shooting at the relief workers forcing a delay in help for the needy.
How much more prepared will Obama and his lame headed minions be after nuclear bombs strike a couple of our large cities? How fast will help come? Will help even come?
“no food, no water and no shelter, aid agencies were in a desperate race against time to save the victims of the earthquake. Witnesses described gutters running with blood and children sleeping among heaps of dead bodies after becoming separated from their parents.”
Will this be us? Might that be a visual of what is coming to Anytown USA?
This earthquake could not have been prevented and all that can now be done is respond to the needs of these unfortunate folks. Obama’s incompetence already demonstrates that he is incapable or unwilling to prevent nuclear terrorist attacks.
After 7 years of relative safety, three terrorists attacks have occurred on our own soil, all within less than a year of Obama’s administration. Had only one of them been a nuclear blast, might we now be seeing similar horrors.... on the streets of our soil?
If Obama is given a good grade for his response to this earthquake, fine, but will that really be any comfort for those that will be victims of the horrific tragedy that he and the Pelosi/Reid Party are failing to prevent.
Shep said on Fox News yesterday that " the ground just opened up and swallowed whole blocks"
We can see the ole Shep learned nothing from New Orleans ....
Why has Obamao been there to alleviate the suffering, rescuing the trapped, and housing the homeless.
Gives you hope?
For shame.
oops.. Why HASN’T Obamao been there
Truly “Voodoo” economics.
Sharks and alligators will be fighting over the dead bodies floating in the rivers of blood next.
That was in one LSM Katrina report only it was just a river of sewage and detritus not blood.
Now, all we need is Oprah telling us that the American people owe the Haitians an apology for (fill in the blank)and the UN Norwegian guy telling us what selfish SOBs we are (both hysterical accusations taking place even as Americans were hauling out their checkbooks).
The Obama Administration has done nothing about Haiti. When is it going to act. They don’t care. Supplies are sitting at the airport. ETC.
