Special Report: Strong Quake Hits Haiti |

 

We now go to our correspondent Nathan King for more information. He's standing by in Port-au-Prince. Hello, Nathan. Thanks for joining us again on News Hour.

Question 1: Aid keeps flowing in to Haiti, but distribution is still far from ideal. What are the challenges in getting food and water to survivors?

Question 2: Health risks following the earthquake are serious. Doctors have reported cases of diarrhea, tetanus and respiratory diseases. How's the situation now?

Question 3: Besides food and medical treatment, survivors are in urgent need of psychological help. Is there any special group already in Haiti to care for the traumatized?

Question 4: We had difficulty reaching Haiti by phone in the days immediately after the quake. How are telecommunications there now?

Question 5: It's been almost two weeks since the quake struck. Have you observed more signs that the Caribbean country is coming back to life?
