After the Haiti quake, UN mission chief, aid workers, business leaders and half of the Haiti population was in a race to save many of the Haiti people who were still buried alive under piles of rubble. In a sense, Haiti is one major test case for the international aid community and development agencies. The scale of January earthquake, which was a disaster for the already poor country with a weak government and private sector, has highlighted all the well –known pros and cons of the international aid effort in Haiti, which now seem to run much of the country and economy.
Before the quake Haiti, was on their way up, with private investments coming is from investors such as the Bill Gates. New buildings were being built, and UN had help to control criminal gangs with their security watch, which helped the crime rate go down.
The cons begin after the quake when one of the buildings that held many of Haiti’s most dangerous criminals was shaken to rubble. Many of the inmates escaped and returned to their lives of crime, which only made things worse for people who were suffering from the devastation of the earthquake. The country weak government which was eluding the hard own money people earned on a daily basis by taking extravagant in expensive trips to the Caribbean’s with the hard earn money people worked for it’s a sati see. Thank god for the U.S.
