Jimani border crossing into Haiti

Jimani border crossing into Haiti

This is the Jimani border crossing into Haiti. Just through the gate is Haiti. It is crowded with buses, trucks, and other vehicles making their way to Port-Au-Prince. It creates a huge bottleneck for getting much needed supplies to earthquake victims. We sat at the border for three hours before we could pass. The road after the crossing is a narrow two lane dirt road just wide enough for two cars.

All along the streets of Port-Au-Prince are vendors selling everything you can imagine. This image captures just a tiny glimpse of street life in Port-Au-Prince.

Many buildings crumbled to the ground in the Haitian earthquake but there are thousands of home still standing that are unsafe to live. Families have taken to the streets to live under tarps or if they are lucky in small tents.
