Haiti still rebuilding after quake

China Daily | Updated: 2018-01-15 07:33

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Eight years ago, a magnitude-7 earthquake upended life in Haiti, killing more than 300,000 people by some estimates and destroying hundreds of thousands of homes. For many of those left homeless, life hasn't yet returned to normal.

In the Delmas district in the north of the capital, Port-au-Prince, Camp Caradeux sprang up as a temporary home for 20,000 displaced people. Promises of new permanent homes have failed to materialize and Haiti's economy remains weak, leaving camp residents with nowhere to go.

As a result, the camp is transforming into a village as people build cinderblock homes and try to create more normal lives.
