Tuesday, January 12 2010

At 17:15, the quake hit the island of Gonave for about 25-30 seconds with an incredible noise. I saw all move in all directions. I was in the garden at 5m from the house, people were moving in all directions and it was screaming.

Fortunately, people do not live in houses during the day! Many houses are damaged, entire houses were destroyed.

is really panic. The cries of people in the village resound everywhere. After 3 replies, I asked people not to sleep in the house for fear of further aftershocks.

The house of the association has not suffered too much. The panels are not yet checked or the tank, the priority is for people: if there are injuries or not, or if they need to be rescued by as Gonave , it doesn 'there is no means of relief.

For now, he Countdown personal business to clear the attic.

For now, no communication with the outside world: the phone does not work, the radio either, except on France Inter International announcing that news, we ask people not to stay in houses: they have no place to spend the night, I have to set up a tent for the night.

We spent the night in two tents.

is the radio that we learned the strength of the earthquake that struck at 17h. The force was of 7.9 and a few minutes later by 7.4.

There were more than a dozen aftershocks.

It is 3 hours in the morning and the phone still does not work or electricity in the capital. Everybody in the street in the Haitian capital and under the rubble, no water, no electricity and no means of first aid. According to Radio 90.6, there are corners that are completely razed to the card even the national palace, according to the radio, is affected.

I've decided to go place Thursday, January 14, 2010.

On 13 January, as here in the village, there are many houses destroyed, I prefer to keep the inventory with the villagers.

At 10:55, a 3 rd reply. As the phone does not work, I decided to take the road to Port au Prince because I learned on the radio that there were still many dead under the rubble in the capital, I decided go there to help.

In the 11 th section, no died, much damage: homes destroyed, all the barns are destroyed, crops are in range of animals, all people in the street.

I have no news of my sisters who live in Port au Prince. I have no choice.

Then I decided to travel down that despite the earth continues to tremble and I stayed overnight in the car for safety.

Thursday, 14 January 2010

At 6 o'clock in the morning, I took the boat (love) to go to Arcahaie. And according to Port au Prince with three suitcases, tent and 3 kilos of drugs.

When I arrived in the capital, unable to deliver aid. Nothing is held, no means of transport and communication, no health center. The corpses in the streets everywhere in the ruins. The children scream in the ruins and other buildings. The wounded are everywhere. No drinking water, all shops are closed or crushed. There is looting everywhere. All people in the street.

All state buildings are down with employees. The National Palace is to be remade, DGCI (Directorate General of Tax Office) is completely destroyed, Chamber of Commerce over 80%.

buildings are affected, entire neighborhoods were wiped out. If you look at the Rue Pavee, all buildings are affected.

City Leogane is destroyed beyond 80%: all houses are down.

After visiting Port au Prince, I decided to go Gonave because insecurity is beginning to be felt. Nothing organized in all the streets are scattered cases, shops are destroyed or they are closed, no water, no place to bring people together. All people in all corners of the street to spend the night: no mattresses, no sleeping bags, children are on the floor or on a piece of cardboard in different blocks.

For now, we need as tents, first aid.

boats help, they stack the people crossing the Gulf of Gonave of Gonave to Arcahaie free for 4 days, which encourages many people to see parents who are in Port-au-Prince and also helps people return to Gonave.

According to the findings and testimony of people, the situation will get worse very quickly, we can say in the days to come.

All the houses are smashed more than 80% to Léogane bank Leogane is crushed, crushed the church ... everyone in the street, no tents. The orphanage has fallen net with all the kids, and up Friday brought no relief to help them.

There are many corpses in the streets of Leogane. In the large cemetery, they made a grave to put all the dead.

the phone, Saturday, January 16, 2010 to 23h15:

"The most urgent need is to rebuild homes because so little food reserve is outside and the animals use and do damage.

Many people now coming to Port au Prince. The food will become a big problem as well as routing: gasoline (petrol) is becoming scarce. "
