I was there, twice, in the days of Baby Doc and things were bad then.

Twitter is, possibly, still the best source of immediate news and information on what’s happening there, and NPR has compiled a list of Twitter pages.
pierrecote is among them and says according to the federal government, 1,415 Canadians are still missing in Haiti.
Another good source in informatinm is CitizenTube, from whence came the pic on the right.
Google, meanwhile, says it’s donating $1 million to organizations on the ground and includes a link on its homepage to:
- information, resources and ways you can help
- Direct Relief
- Yele Haiti
- Partners in Health
- Red Cross
- World Food Program
- Mercy Corps
- Save the Children
- Lambi Fund
