Four deadly riders... by Milota Sidorova

When January earthquake hit Haiti, it was clear that it wasn't the last, not the worst catastrophe for the island. Although it killed about 300,000 and turned millions into refugees, the real problems had to started. First, the dislocation of so many people brought problems with coordination and supplies. And when all media buzz went dry, the world, including its biggest power quickly forgot humanitarian promises. U.S. for example haven't sent a penny from $1.15 billion rescue package. The list would go on and on... Rescue workers, doctors and volunteers have to deal with lack of the most basic supplies – hygiene and sanitarian aids, water and food. And even 10 months! after the catastrophe thousands of thousands live in temporary shelters, tents. So many people who live in one place in such conditions are easy target for any kind of disease. Cholera is increasing a death toll, diarrhea is appearing due mud flowing inside of shelters. Hurricane season that started in the spring is not over and Haiti now faces crucial moment. Tropical Storm Thomas that has appeared over Carribean sea is projected to pass over Haiti during the week. So long with destroyed infrastructure, thousands of thousands of dislocated and sick people without supplies, there is a question. How long can the country stand this situation? If the storm turns into Hurricane and flatten huge areas and destroys even camps, what are these people going to do? Earthquake was just the beginning. It made the country vulnerable to all kinds of disasters.
