OscailtPrices in Haiti on the Rise While Population StarvesPORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Last week, the price of a small can of rice cost US$2. Tuesday, it costs Haitian US$3.50. A gallon of cooking oil that cost $10 only days ago now fetches US$20.
What will they cost tomorrow? No one knows.

Has it ever occurred that there isn't many individuals identified in Haiti or specifically Port Au Prince as individual spokesman or director of disasters.............we are doing the best we can in a very chaotic situation that will only worsen. Our people should not be put in harms way for a society that has failed it's own people. The Haitian government and the elites has a great impact on the suppression of their own people and have a direct linkage in what appears to be modern day slavery. <br />

It is my hope that someone can begin to help assist the united states to devise a strategy that is effective for humankind alike.
