Continued Haiti relief needed from the Red Cross

On the main website for the Red Cross there are many updated stories of the continued efforts to try to save the Haiti community. "Over the past month, the focus has been on emergency relief-medical care, clean water and the distribution of basic relief items." Although the earthquake is long over they still face many hardships ahead including Haiti's rain season which brings up to five centimeters of rain per day. This only adds to the struggles faced to recontruct the community. Around 95,000 people in the area have been provided with shelter items by Red Cross Crescent workers including tarps, tents and tools. "They have also provided as much as 1.3 million litres of clean water and digging latrines each day at 12 camps." These efforts are still not nearly enough to save the community from the other challenges it faces such as the spread of disease from the solid waste building up in the camps. The Red Cross has developed a strong commitment to helping these people to build a stronger and more resiliant community.
