WHYS was in Haiti a few months ago and judging by the reports from ourÌýcolleagues coming out of Port-Au-Prince, .
Ìý
Despite millions of dollars of aid pledged- and a good deal of it actually delivered - the mayor of one town an hour's drive from the capital, said :
" It still looks like the earthquake hit yesterday"
More than a million people are still homeless, many piles of rubble lay unmoved..
The catalogue of problems include :
* A delay in the publication , let alone execution - of the government's reconstruction plan..
* Almost all of the Government ministries were devastated during the quake...
* International donors have yet to come up with all the reconstruction money..and the worldwide recession has hit donations...
* Haiti's long term political and social problems have slowed the rate of progress...
So has the rest of the world let Haiti down ? Or is there only so much you can do in 6 months ?
