What are you doing to help the poor refugees in Haiti?

They are living in squalid conditions and lack toilets, and running water at the CampBarbancourt Deux. They are directly across from the Food from the Poor, who are delivery no services or food to the people in the camp.They are threatening to bull doze their tents down with all their worldly possessions if they do not leave because the owner wants to build a factory there.

Who is in charge here of seeing that they have someplace to go?

The lack of services for these victims is pitiful, particularly when over 6 billion dollars has been donated to help them. Only 5% of the land has been cleared.

It looks like there will be efforts to take land owned by victims away from them since they likely do not have the proper ownership papers after the earthquake.

I think they are trying to let the wealthy claim the land at the price of nothing.

Why is it so slow in providing better living conditions for these refugees?

You must see that these people are not evicted by a bulldozer with no place to go and their thing all crushed.

What kind of humans are running the programs there?

You need to contact the ClintonBushFund and demand they contribute money to start helping these people.

This delay is just not acceptable.

The fund is being used to invest and all the people involved are all business men who work with funds.

We do not need the relief dollars to prop up American markets, or if we do it is wrong.

The people need relief and they must be treated in a humane manner.

This condition is not humane, and the Food for the Poor is a sham organization if the camp across the street from their building cannot get any food from them. We need to start exposing relief groups who have done nothing or little to nothing but requested donations for their relief.

Food for the Poor has a bad record.

Who is neglecting their duty in that these people have mosquito living in putrid sitting water at the edge of the camp and that leaks into the tents?

Demand that Clinton and Bush start removing the rubble and find these people a decent and livable conditions with adequate food. Who is advocating for them. You certainly should be. Help them now!!!
