POST 4 HAITI

Haiti took a huge blow with the earthquake on January 12, 2010. They are still grieving form their loss in structure, families, and government leaders. All the buildings collapsed because they are infused with sand, which makes the buildings easier to collapse, but cheaper cement. Even though the country itself is poor, the government should have made a better decision in choosing the regular cement over the cheaper, weaker type.

Other than that, there are a lot of amputated people after the earthquake. People think that the doctors are just quickly amputating them instead of looking for a better solution. The doctors are in the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, so the people have to go there, and they get there in such a critical state that they have to amputate them before the infection spreads anywhere else. There shouldn't be such a controversy with this because the doctor should know if there is another choice.
