Via The Big Picture: Haiti, 70 days later.

They say that time heals all wounds. This is true, in most cases at least, but in the case of Haiti, it’s clear that they’ll need more to get back to normal. The Big Picture once again turned their lenses to the Caribbean island to document life there, this time 70 days after the 7.0 Earthquake. Below is a sampling of their results.

In Haiti, the survivors of the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that struck about two and a half months ago continue to struggle, with a few signs of hope as international assistance is beginning to make measurable progress, some international debt is being forgiven, and some businesses and institutions start to come back to life. In a country still mourning the loss of a now-estimated 230,000 citizens (on par with the 2004 Indian Ocean quake), over one million people remain housed in makeshift tent cities, uncertain about their future or security. According to a recent draft summary of the Haitian government’s damage and needs assessment, the country will need $11.5 billion to rebuild. Collected here are a handful of recent photographs from Haiti, a country still in need.
