Malnutrition in Haiti...

by Richard M Joseph III (not verified) - 02/09/2008 - 19:56

Greed and bad politics have turned the country into a landfill, a doormat for everyone to come and step on. Few trees are left standing in the mountains and populated areas because of people cutting trees. Since trees have been turned into coal by more than half of the nation's population for used of fire, any hurricane or cyclone heading towards Haiti at 95 mp/h or higher always causes inundation, aggravating the living condition of the people. Haiti is crippled than ever.
