photos - fort national - part 1

The Fort National area was heavily damaged during the earthquake. Many people were killed and many homes were destroyed.

It is a densely populated area.

Heavy equipment can't get into the interior areas of Fort National. Manual labor is being used by the people who live there to clear rubble.

Going into the interior of Fort National means scrambling around and through broken and fallen buildings.

People are determined to rebuild their lives but need a helping hand. This father doesn't want his child to live in a refuge camp. He wants to rebuild his home. Pray for all the families that are trying to rebuild their lives and for all those who are suffering living in refuge camps.

Driving home from downtown we took a detour through Fort National. We arrived and found more destruction than anywhere else I have seen here in Port-au-Prince.

This boutique says "Welcome to Denye Le". Denye Le is creole for "Last Hour". It sure is an apocolyptic scene in Fort National.

House after house is collapsed with many dead underneath.

It looks like one giant bomb leveled the area.

People did not have place to run when houses collapsed all around them.
