photos - rubble removal - part 1

The Haitian people are very resourceful. In order to clean up rubble on narrow streets manual labor is used.

Rubble is moved rock by rock by groups of people up the street to the corner. This group of workers was in the Canape Vert region.

This group of workers have a difficult task. They have to hand the rubble by hand across the street and then toss it into the dump truck keeping an eye on passing vehicles.

When vehicles go by they pause their rubble hand-over process.

Once the vehicle passes by the human rubble handover chain goes to work.
