Into The Deep: Haiti Earthquake Anniversary 1/13/12
Get the Flash Player to see this player.

It has been two years since a devastating earthquake in Haiti left the country in ruins, forcing its already impoverished people to fall further into distressed conditions.

As charities and governments throughout the nation continue to express a committed desire to ramp up efforts to rebuild the island nation, one fact it seems remains alarmingly apparent—the progress of reconstruction remains painfully slow going. This lack of progress presents dangerous challenges to the country’s population– especially the nearly half a million still forced to live in tent communities and unsafe conditions in the aftermath of the quake.

Many in the Haitian community and throughout the world are asking what has hampered relief efforts?

Our News Director Ed Wilkinson sat down with Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio – who offered a profound first-hand look at the devastation in the underdeveloped nation. He also offered some perspective on what has impeded the rebuilding process. That’s the subject of this week’s “Into The Deep.”
