I just got around to reading this dispatch from Haiti. The place is so heartbreaking:
In South Sudan about 2.5 million people — 21 per cent of the population — live at four and five, the most extreme. In Haiti, a two-hour flight from Miami and a four-hour drive from the beach resorts of the Dominican Republic, there are 2.1 million — 18 per cent of the population — living at that level.
The story features one man I'd like to know more about: Samuel Joasil. He's a police officer who's led resistance to the gang's overrunning Port-au-Prince, from his home base in the Canapé Vert section of the city.
