Living conditions not improving in Haiti

Haiti's homeless are still living in filthy makeshift camps, more than 3 weeks after the earthquake. The survivors are in desperate need of more orderly homes with basic services.

Since fleeing their homes, quake survivors in Port-au-Prince are living in a jumble of makeshift shelters made out of corrugated tin, cardboard, plastic netting, sheets and salvaged wood.

They have no running water or electricity, and are depending on aid to survive.

Now, coming seasonal rains are threatening to pile further misery on them.

Guerrier Arau, Homeless Haitian, said, "We don't have a place to sleep. The little tents we have, if it rains, it would be a catastrophe."
