Leogane, Haiti's Third Largest City, is 90% Destroyed

I met with OCHA (the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) and learned of the desperate emergency in Leogane, just ten miles west of Port-Au-Prince. There are many survivors with major and moderate, survivable injuries -- but there is

• No hospital
• No supplies
• No nurses and
• One doctor

The devastation is worse than Port-Au-Prince, if that can be imagined. Leogane has a population of about 140,000. There is no government or infrastructure left at all.

I have hooked up with Partners in Health so we can coordinate our efforts to provide emergency food, water, and shelter.

The road from Port-Au-Prince to Leogane is passable with minor blockages, but cars and fuel are major problems. Those gas stations undamaged by the quake are closed.

But we will do this.
