PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI

A man plays with his daughter and baby outside their tent in a camp for people displaced by the earthquake in 2010 in Port Au Prince, Haiti on 13th January 2013. As Haiti marks the 3rd anniversary of the apocalyptic 12th January 2010 earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people, international effort to rebuild the western hemisphere's poorest nation has been a disaster in itself. It took far too long to clear the rubble; some 350,000 displaced Haitians still live in squalid camp tents; UN peacekeepers are allegedly responsible for a cholera epidemic, and unemployment continues to top 70%.
