Pictures Tell The Story --


About a dozen homes were washed away during Gustav



During Hanna while the UN watch, a man is telling the people how he tried to walk into Gonaives, but could not

The UN used pontoons to get into Gonaives

Artibonite Valley - shows how isolated these places are


In an earlier update about Gonaives, we mentioned a Filipino pastor and family with an orphanage of 26 children - they have not received anything from the UN yet, and it's been 10 days since the flooding, 10 days without virtually food and water, and are reporting the water is still about waist high in the street. The American couple, who have assumed responsibility for another orphanage because the director can't get back to Gonaives, have received help from the UN, and they are reporting the water level is at knee level. We know these people personally and of course are very concerned, praying for them. Gonaives is still inaccessible and the situation is grave. But many other towns, such as Cabaret, Cayes, Jacmel, Jeremie and small villages are just as needy.
