222,570, that’s my first number to think about. Almost one quarter of a million.
Now compare that number to 6,400.
The first number is the UN total on how many people were killed in the 2010 Haitian earthquake. The second is the death toll so far from the recent Japanese quake. That’s thirty five dead in Haiti for every one person dead in Japan.
4,672 Haitians have died just from the cholera outbreak after the quake alone.
Haiti has no running water, no sanitation, no insurance, no stable government, no infrastructure.
So some may find this callous, but seriously, which place should donations be going to at this point?
