Reuters: Haiti faces anger and despair a week after quake, fanning security fears
MARCELINE, Haiti, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Tensions in Haiti were rising on Saturday over a lack of aid to remote areas hardest hit by last week's devastating earthquake that killed more than 2,000 people in the impoverished Caribbean country.
Many Haitians whose homes and livelihoods were destroyed by the magnitude 7.2 quake that struck on Aug. 14 said they were unsure how to even start rebuilding.
Exasperation over the time it is taking for aid to come through began to boil over on Friday, with residents attacking aid trucks in several towns across the south of the nation.

WNU Editor: Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world, but the region that was hit by this earthquake is viewed by most Haitians as the poorest in the country.

Haiti obviously needs help. A sledge hammer approach won't work.
If they want their government to change, they will be declared white nationalists too haha :D

Pissed off that aid is slow, they attack the aid trucks! That will make aid arrive faster, for sure! Quite intelligent people!
Unfortunately no one cares. The world (the WEST) is tired of bailing out these basket case, go nowhere countries. They are pre-occupied with Covid-19 insanity, Afghanistan, out of control immigration, rampant and ever inreasing crime and very inept governments. Haiti is on its own.
