Nursing Home Residents in Haiti Dying, Waiting for Help
The 84 remaining residents of Haiti’s Port-au-Prince Municipal Nursing Home are waiting for food, water and medicine. According to Associated Press reports, other survivors have shared some food and medicine with dying residents, but large-scale foreign aid has not arrived.
"Several elderly residents were nearing death, staff said. They gasped for air, motionless amid the mayhem of a makeshift tent city erected by survivors on the grounds of the nursing home in an impoverished downtown neighborhood.”
Photos show the nursing home residents begging for food, without medicine or care, awaiting death.
