Haiti, 6 months after the earthquake

The World

It’s been six months since a devastating earthquake shook Haiti and its capital, Port-au-Prince, leaving tens of thousands dead and several hundred thousand more injured and homeless. The country remains in dire straits, with a fractured government, a continued need for basic aid, and a large number of groups competing for a foothold in a country with a severely damaged infrastructure.

We’re joined by New York Times reporter Deborah Sontag, and Time Magazine reporter Jessica Desvarieux.
