By now obviously you all know what has transpired in Haiti. The devastating earthquake has hit this poor country so hard leaving its city and people destroyed. The images and stories of the dead and those that survived are unimaginable. Just last week I was looking at the paper and had to do a double take to the picture on the cover---men throwing dead bodies on to a pile of rotting corpses! I was amazed! After reading the article, I understood that the morgues of hospitals have no way of accommodating more dead, that the government doesnt have enough trucks to transport the dead, and that mass graves of tens of thousands have already been filled! There is literally no where for them to put their dead! Some family members will bury their kin on the side of roads.......The site of dead bodies has become a fast norm to the people of Haiti.....I almost wanted to cry....I cant believe a place so horrible!
I don't think we would ever grasp what really is going on there or anywhere else facing such tragedy, unless we are there ourselves. My heart and prayers go out to them.
