Here is another roundup on some of the Haiti head­lines. Another earth­quake hit the coun­try this morn­ing, send­ing pan­icked peo­ple out into the streets and away from build­ings. Asso­ci­ated Press writer Michelle Faul gives us the lat­est details, we found this arti­cle at the Fort Wayne Jour­nal Gazette.

A 6.1-magnitude earth­quake struck Haiti on Wednes­day morn­ing, shak­ing build­ings and send­ing scream­ing peo­ple run­ning into the streets only eight days after the country’s cap­i­tal was dev­as­tated by an apoc­a­lyp­tic quake.

The U.S. Geo­log­i­cal Sur­vey said the new quake hit at 6:03 a.m. (1103 GMT) about 35 miles (56 kilo­me­ters) north­west of the cap­i­tal of Port-au-Prince. It struck at a depth of 13.7 miles (22 kilo­me­ters) but was too far inland to gen­er­ate any tidal waves in the Caribbean.

Wails of ter­ror rose Wednes­day as fright­ened sur­vivors of last week’s quake poured out of unsta­ble build­ings. It was not imme­di­ately pos­si­ble to ascer­tain what addi­tional dam­age the new quake may have caused.

Last week’s magnitude-7 quake killed an esti­mated 200,000 peo­ple in Haiti, left 250,000 injured and made 1.5 mil­lion home­less. A mas­sive inter­na­tional aid effort has been launched, but it is strug­gling with logis­ti­cal prob­lems, and many Haitians are still des­per­ate for food and water.

Still, search-and-rescue teams have emerged from the ruins with some improb­a­ble suc­cess sto­ries — includ­ing the res­cue of 69-year-old ardent Roman Catholic who said she prayed con­stantly dur­ing her week under the rubble.

Ena Zizi had been at a church meet­ing at the res­i­dence of Haiti’s Roman Catholic arch­bishop when the Jan. 12 quake struck, trap­ping her in debris. On Tues­day, she was res­cued by a Mex­i­can dis­as­ter team.

Another arti­cle reminds us of how great the need is in Haiti. Gov­ern­ment and char­ity aid groups cant get sup­plies and resources into the coun­try fast enough. Asso­ci­ated Press writer Jonathan M. Katz focuses on the strug­gle to get enough aid into Haiti, our snip­pet comes from the Spring­field News Leader.

The world still can’t get enough food and water to the hun­gry and thirsty one week after an earth­quake shat­tered Haiti’s cap­i­tal. The air­port remains a bot­tle­neck, the port is a sham­bles. The Hait­ian gov­ern­ment is invis­i­ble, nobody has taken firm charge and the police have largely given up.

Even as U.S. troops landed in Sea­hawk heli­copters Tues­day on the man­i­cured lawn of the National Palace, the colos­sal efforts to help Haiti are prov­ing inad­e­quate because of the scale of the dis­as­ter and the lim­i­ta­tions of the world’s gov­ern­ments. Expec­ta­tions exceeded what money, will and mil­i­tary might have been able to achieve so far in the face of unimag­in­able calamity.

Those who sur­vived the quake from the begin­ning but had lost their homes and pos­ses­sions were grow­ing des­per­ate as they camped out in the streets and in a plaza across from the National Palace.

“We need so much. Food, clothes. We need every­thing. I don’t know whose respon­si­bil­ity it is, but they need to give us some­thing soon,” said Sophia Eltime, a 29-year-old mother of two who has been liv­ing under a bed­sheet with seven mem­bers of her extended fam­ily. She said she had not eaten yet Tuesday.

It is not just Haitians ques­tion­ing why aid has been so slow for vic­tims of one of the worst earth­quakes in his­tory: an esti­mated 200,000 dead, 250,000 injured and 1.5 mil­lion home­less. Offi­cials in France and Brazil and aid groups such as Doc­tors With­out Bor­ders have com­plained of bot­tle­necks, skewed pri­or­i­ties and a crip­pling lack of lead­er­ship and coordination.

“TENS OF THOUSANDS OF EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS NEED EMERGENCY SURGICAL CARE NOW!!!!!” said a news release from Part­ners in Health, co-founded by Dr. Paul Farmer, the deputy U.N. envoy to Haiti.
