Haiti medics struggle without supplies.

The earthquake in Haiti has left lots of people in really bad conditions. Medics working with the survivors of the earthquake in Haiti have been talking about the important lack of resources they have. They say there aren’t enough doctors and nurses to cure injured people with lots of head traumas and crashed bones. They are trying to work as together as possible to make the situation a lot better but doctors are very frustrated because they know they can’t do anything else. However, there’s a hope in people there; a doctor explains the case about a girl she healed without anesthetic: the girl was singing the pain away.

I listen to the news every day and I always see news of Haiti. They’re always repeating the same: “bad conditions for Haiti”, “big disaster for Haiti”, “lots of victims in Haiti”… The question is: after a few days, will we forget Haiti or we’ll keep helping them? In my opinion we shouldn’t focus as much as we do in world’s misfortune, because we quickly forget them. However, I hope Haiti gets better as fast as possible, or at least, I wish people there live in better condition than today.
