CHF-Haiti Blog Upate - Feb. 23, 2010: Residents of Petit Goave and Petit Guinee Still Surviving in Makeshift Camps

Located just off Route National #2, the area of Cupidon in Petit-Goave is now home to several hundred displaced individuals, particularly residents of nearby Petite Guinee, which was almost completely leveled by the earthquake. The Red Cross has installed a field clinic in the area to help meet the medical needs of the area, while Oxfam has installed a potable water system and has provided a number of green tarps to camp residents. Petit-Goave is fortunate to have few such camps, as most residents have avoided resettlement and have instead installed improvised shelters next to their damaged or destroyed homes.
