Nine months after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, more than 3 million people are living life under tents. In January of this year, the United States and other countries raised more than 30 million dollars - separately. Regardless of these raised amounts, it seems as if there's no system in place to distribute these funds properly - and donations are still pouring in (including more tents).
It seems as if the real Haiti Tragedy resides in NOT being able to access and distribute donated funds.

The sudden, powerful storm that ripped through Haiti's battered capital destroyed thousands of tents in the homeless camps where more than 1.3 million people live eight months after the earthquake destroyed their homes, shelter officials said Saturday.
The death toll from Friday afternoon's storm stood at six people, with nearly 8,000 tents damaged or destroyed, according to a statement from the United Nation's International Organization for Migration. The organization said it had distributed 5,000 tarps.
I am not surprise this is how eff up the government is they don;t care about those people in Haiti. They want to use Haiti for their own selfish needs.
