Status Of The Recovery

6 months later...

98% of the rumble caused by the earthquake remained unclear with dead bodies in them

The people in the camps, tents etc. still had no housing arrangement prepared

Most camps had no electricity, running water, sewage disposal which caused many tents to break down.

Between 23 major charities, $1.1 billion had been raised for haiti, but only 2 percent of that money was released.

Rebuilding still hadn't taken place because of a major issue-- 85% of the houses weren't registered.
