11:35 am
the general cancer model. okay, we'll come back to you in just a moment. natasha. welcome to the stream. hello audience, who you are and what you do? yes. net this, i mean, hold on, i am the country director of patient help on de shan is an organization that has been in the area of jeremy grant and for the last supposed to 40 years and of a main work is on health service delivery. we also do community development strategies as well as a cation right now we are in athens, mobilizing our team to respond to this after, and continue with the basic me that they today, the community. all right, very good. i will come back to you, john, home, and you would have seen his reporting on out today for the last couple of days.
11:36 am
john, we might want it to you on what i found a yes, i'm a correspondent with 0. i'm usually based in mexico. but as soon as we heard the earthquake, it hit, obviously we want to come here and cover it. so for the last week, i've been a fed in, in the car, in the part of the region that the earthquakes affected with your, of a to, to get to a base the a now i'm in put to print the capital. i'm going to show you why don't just mentioned like hi, it's right here, my laptop. this is like hi here. and then i'm going to show you where the earthquake hit. they just remember that little point there on the map in haiti, which is creek free one here, look at the intensity of the earthquake and i am guessing just about their thought to innovate is where you're sitting right now. right? right. that if you get a sense of how badly hit that southern part of haiti has been, if you could walk around right now and show us, what would we see?
11:37 am
so if we can look around and see we wouldn't see so many on did the station that is not known for their work because most of it happen in the most remote area. it's very difficult to access. and yes, but again, we toward one of those places and we were really shocked by the expense of devastation. so in some areas or the houses are less and people are just flipping outside under like tops or it's really a very complicated situation. natasha. how much have been impacted, we can see the southern part. absolutely, but all of haiti is all of haiti be impacted by the earthquake. well,
11:38 am
i will say that there are way areas that have been impacted directly while others have been impacted indirectly. so the area of the earth showed a you can see where jeremy anti were actually in the yellow circle and that's it was stated before him. maybe the reason that why the world doesn't realize the level of devastation is precisely that because there's no white bread. it's over the read apartments and nick, sued and graham van. and the thing with this 3 departments and they are very, very hard to reach areas. they're very mom and in nature. and the landscape is very different. you have some landscape by the water, and then you have some landscape in very, very high mountains and incredibly so you have very small communities to live in
11:39 am
and all of this territory and all of this area. and there are communities that, in essence, haven't even been re yet because again, the nature of the widespread nature of, of is earthquake. and then of course, the rest of the country is packed in by the, you know, the age beginning to arrive, and the transportation from friends to the south area and, and the complexity of all of that once you are right to the south. because some of the roads are just not passable. bridges that are down. so you can imagine the difficulty relative to the thought of rod a rate of impact community. so i'm a little 500 people and some as big as the city of chi. yes, impact got a lot of damage and our friends at the hospital benefits i doing wonderful work and
11:40 am
we know what they are doing over there. john, i'm going to play a couple of clips of haitians who have lost their homes. they are devastated off my plato crate. i'm really interested in the new the atmosphere, the people that you spoke to. let's start with the section 1st of all because it don't live on it. it's the work of god. it is his will. when you spend your life saving over a long period of time to build a house and it is destroyed in the 2nd, given that i'm no longer young, i'm old. i then ask god, if i will have another opportunity to rebuild, i just don't know. she didn't budget enough. all i am going. no community is ruined. homes are destroyed. we have seen victims. we need food and water. we haven't received any help. people are sleeping out doors when it rains. they got wet. there is nowhere to sleep. oh, yes,
11:41 am
yes. yeah, that's really tough, isn't it? to hear these people, you know, you're saying that this is basically everything was gone in a moment. we actually went to one of the villages it was really interested to hear in natasha. talk about communities, a small ones that are affected because i think not just us, but there's a lot of media group that we're trying to get out to those communities. and we found one called floor on which we talked to the head of the district and said 90 percent of the buildings in that community have been destroyed much about us. basically every house there and it looked like it. we drove down the road and every house on that road pretty much with a few exceptions, was down and we stopped when we arrived at a building that was the school, the church, and the hospital for that community. it been around for 53 years since
11:42 am
a christian lady who had a bill for them and, and it was gone in a heartbeat. and obviously that community was just devastated just as natasha and in a boat was saying that these communities, hard to get to because they're in the mountains, we have to go through a river that we managed to with. we bought full buy food, but it's not going to be easy for a lot of different vehicles to get that back to that community. so it's, it's destruction, not just in the cities, but in those smaller communities. that's a real, a real problem. there is something that different media group to try to highlight right now. john, you're younger from postway. so if you bring a crew with you, lisa is with you on your crew, and i've just been checking out his his instagram seat here in a very delta interview, you're going to recognize this. this is a reality on the ground. haiti le chi football stadium has turned into a makeshift camp, an appalling conditions with no food,
11:43 am
water and bathrooms. when aid comes, police provide security, but they take a way and never combat what to innovate. yes, yes, and this is actually what those have been in this port lights, but it's the conditions of many more people have been basically receiving attention from back to the rest of the areas and some areas are asked. so we moved that so far, even today we still discovering people who got injured and they've never seen anybody to have them. so it's a very difficult situation and people are in need of everything going from food
11:44 am
to medical care. i'm wondering, natasha. what is dying? right. i asked that because i'm looking here shift the haiti on my on my laptop, delivering food on motiv likes to taos outside of jeremy. that is one way to work out. the lack of access is we're just going to put the food on bikes and then like it for that is ingenuity in the face of dissolve the natasha. i don't want everyone to just walk away from this conversation. just we paying a wailing of what can we do? people all people trying like guide. yeah, i have to fire this incredible ingenuity and creativity to resolve the issues. you know, going back to that terrifying, pull or feel seen is, is just probably really have to try to avoid by coming out with solutions with the local people. the local people are really come in to get their thing,
11:45 am
make this happen. so you call them a, with the people that are already on the ground or have been on the ground. they know who is who they know their, their patients. there are no the member and the community, they know the leaders and the community are annual, engage them with their resources because that also empower them with some, you know, financial assistance with the ability. ringback to really get the assistance with possibly sometimes even the need, the police are making members of that community. so their community are going to accept that age coming in without any kind of an incident of bias or any age being stolen, etc. we are working with some partners on the grounds and central world. kistin is one of those partner in fact, and that is in coordination with some help on nation. and we're getting very creative to make sure that this has just been truly the people that needed. and
11:46 am
avoid any of the kinds of stories that are common now that the aid is just not getting to the people don't. i'm just going to pull into youtube comments here and i'm going to play a little clip from your reporting. and then i'm going to come right back to you. all right, so you says i am haitian, thank you for being part of the program. when such event happen, haitian elite, and those corrupted politicians take advantage of those monetary and aid. and then it says the un must lead some investigations around those lead and corrupt politicians. interesting because you went to a press conference recently, the un deputy sexy general with their and i should politicians with i'm not going to add the way that you dislike them. but they were there and you asked them some quite difficult, challenging questions that heavily from those questions and then tell me what your experience was. how do you think the government is handling this current disaster? let's go to john asking those questions. one of the regions,
11:47 am
it's been completely flattened. this last bill we went to last year and they said they haven't had any one from the government coming up for them made when they took he told them to wait to that. why are they not getting a sooner since 98 percent of the houses are destroyed? but the prime minister chose not to answer the question, passing the might to his head of civil protection. we are formulating our respond evidentally. we have some issues related to security, but we are doing our best to accelerate the process. we've already sent several convoys, but gradually we're going to step in john, i think you look happy. nobody looked happy. those questions you asked him, but it seems me quite reasonable questions to ask. yeah, that was last friday when we had the prime minister in that, in that press conference or the laundry. and it was interesting that he pass the mike over there,
11:48 am
know that he didn't want to take that question. and actually he'd been in a meeting before been talking to the organization of american states that i listen, been to. and he made the same. so appoint beth, this is with civil protection, they're the ones handling this and all the way through on that we seem to be an impression that this was something that he's all face and he perhaps didn't want to deal with. and the spirit had that he wanted another agency to deal with that. so i think that perhaps if you're watching that press conference and you saw that clip, you might wonder about the sort of leadership. now obviously the haitian government at the moment has its own problems because the president got assassinated just last month. so there's a whole political situation that's a very difficult one for the country right now. i spoke to something else about that press conference as well. going on to another, the, the head of civil protection that was talking about security, something that we haven't touched much yet. and that's the fact the on the road,
11:49 am
the only road greedy from the capital to the disaster area. there is a suburb of pull 2 prints of districts called multi song in which there's a real 2 gangs of really going to war over that place. now one of the questions i also asked in the press conference is, what are you doing in that district to try and make sure that you can get through. because especially when we 1st landed wanting to go through that because they're worried about kid. nothing's in hijacking. now what the prime minister he did on that question, he said that situation is improved. we're working about producing his jeremy, the paul, who's a producer in hate. they actually went and asked one of the gang leaders in that district. is this true? have you made peace? i'm one of the going to says yes, we have made peace with the other. going to let, let the aid get through our district. we then went there the day later, which would never been able to do. this is a place where we went to police station, it's like a piece of swiss cheese. there's so many bullet holes in it and the law was forced
11:50 am
out there a month back. but now the traffic is running a game. we saw a lot of traffic going through there, so i suppose, as natasha so said, talking about silver lining. least that problem, that security problem has, has been sort of believe it through what we've heard from organizations on the ground. is that another problem is that when it actually gets where it's needed, some people are so desperate, completely, understandably that it occasion me distribution. the aid is difficult of the trucks and people are just wanting to get it as quickly as possible. so maybe it doesn't get where it's most needed. so there's a real complex situation, but obviously the government is done something there and be a dog. and asians are trying to handle it on a day to day basis to make sure things go for while we're on the topic of 8, i want to bring in the voice of time. and misha, jay, john, talking about n g o z, the impact they have had on haiti,
11:51 am
or really the lack of impact they have had on haiti. data in a bear have a listen to this comment, and i would really like you to respond of the back of it. is truly a case of capitalism pushed to its logical conclusion in the caribbean. that is wide and the case in the span of a little bit over a decade. we can see 2 devastating earthquakes happened in the country. and despite the proliferation of n g o there, despite the influx of foreign capital and investments, their infrastructure has not improve their. instead, what we see is that today in the aftermath of the earthquake, where the amount of deaths and injuries are not fully, yet no haitians have to come out and make public please to the international community about which local haitian organization and other organizations are actually collecting fund materials to help haitian versus the proliferation of engineers that happen in haiti every time that there happens and those,
11:52 am
and she was profit off of that disaster by not giving those funds over to patients . yes, that's big to there. we added, you know, they're growing. yes. we've seen a lot of new and use every time as a disaster. so you know, new engineers coming in and doing things and we're working with the local authorities and not being regulated and sometimes duplicating what is being done all what has been there already. so where's being the rest of this? so we think that it's very important that the n g o is better where you're going. and so most of them are not really helpful. but
11:53 am
yeah, those working closely to the haitian community, which other ones are making this very difficult for you, but i it's, it's an important to us which ones are not helpful yet? i know everyone's probably the wealthiest, the most money got good gun scape, if you can. yeah. i've been working with have that bridge international fund a lot for almost 20 years. and i know that the nation has been working hand in hand with the local. what relation and also making sure that the needs expressed by them are their priorities are the actions and we've been working in the health sector and we have
11:54 am
a hospital or in southern have providing basically free care to multiple people. so that's in, in g o n z or is making a real difference saving lives than that we're storing on a daily basis. i haven't done their research on other organizations to know how effective i can't name one which is not effective. but i know that we have tons of engineers in the country if they were not as effective as have figured it out in the ground out there. i think we will be we won't be talking right now because you would have all the technology we'd have to house building, the restructuring would have infrastructure in haiti. we wouldn't even be having this conversation. all right, let me jump in in one mosley. this is yana cathy on it. everybody always off. we have conversations like this on the stream. how can we help?
11:55 am
tatiana has a suggestion and then i'm going to get natasha to add to that suggestion, hearing us. so of course, right now, keep in mind that it's not just goods that they need. it's not just clothes, they need food, they need water, they need to be able to feed their themselves and their families. so don't overflow the country with donated goods and donated items we did experienced the earthquake in 2010. there were so many goods that were donated. a lot of them went to waste because that's not what the people needed. so if anything partner or collaborate with organizations that are already on the ground that i've heard from in spoken to the actual people that have suffered these losses, to see what they need and understand how you can respond or how you can fill some of those needs so that is just very briefly what is hating right now today this week? well, i like to add
11:56 am
a little bit to the conversation about the n g o. there are on the ground. i have been here for decades and are truly serving the community. they are a nation in deals and they, yes, there are some international and deals on the ground and they're doing magnificent things that it's one of the things we need to do is work with those and yields. as i stated before, the really know the needs of the community and connect with them to provide that information back for the bill. the level of a the need to come in. so here's what happened while i was know it here in haiti for the 2010 earthquake. i was here for hurricane matthew. so what happens is that in the faster all this organizations arrived, whether the large one and we all know the me about whether it be or the little ones
11:57 am
. or, i mean we had organizations from russia, from one from india, from sam. i'm going to push you to bring the up to date. were in the last 30 seconds of the show. what. how, okay. haiti, no policies interrupting. you. go ahead. how, how we enforce those that are on the ground. build a bridge between those are on the ground with the haitian community that is in the us that can help facilitate the aid and accountability, accountability, accountability at the end, we really need to know what the and the people that have been assisted. so what's your next story? what are you following next from haiti? where the next story that we're going to file actually is going to be about the security and about the efforts to negotiate. we're going to start to allow that to get through and then the distribution on the ground. thanks, john. look out for that one out there. thank you john trying to talk to in a bad. thank you,
11:58 am
natasha. thank you. people on youtube view as being part of today's show. i see you next time. actually watching everybody ah . in 2009, a tortured victim of the brutal argent time fidela regime confronted his interrogator. torture? no, no, no, no. i wasn't trying to. i was interrogating has justice now been for the atrocious crimes committed decades earlier i do. you were telling like an investigation into the dark history of argentina, or why didn't they told me in the end 3 wind interrogating, a torture on al jazeera, investigative journalist, and government panic. they didn't have the infrastructure they needed. they promised results in 5 days. but it's been a year examining,
11:59 am
the headline. is this another potential flashpoint for conflicts? voices from different corner? every house here has someone who has made it to the top of ever. it's not just one but several time program that has no right to punish you. today. on allergic talk to al jazeera, we what gives you hope that is going to be peace because the situation on the ground seems to be pointing, otherwise we listened. we were never on whatever road to off migration. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on sera the us is always of interest. the people around the world, this is been going on for a number of what's being used to 55, but the report. so it's an active perspective to try to explain your mobile audience and why it's important that could impact their life at the height of the
12:00 pm
storm. water would go high and would it be the above my head? this is an important part of the world. people pay attention to what we're going to do is very good at bringing the news to the world from here. the. ready news the us and it allies one of the possible i feel attack cobble airport and tell people not to show up a hello. i'm emily. angry and this is al jazeera, alive from also coming up. you zealand and australia is struggled to contain a rising number of cars in 19 infections.
