  • Daphene Louis, an accountant and her boyfriend Steve Babtiste  who works in  customer care at Digicel at the  Catrine -Flon Camp, Puit-Blain St, Delmar 75, Port Au Prince. "It was twenty-four hours after the quake before I saw my boyfriend. There were no communication networks and I had no way of knowing if he was dead or alive. When I saw him, I was so relieved I just jumped on him! Now we live in this camp under sheets held up with timber. It is very hard to get shelter from the sun,and when the rains come  there will be  no protection at all.  We need proper tents but even one month on we have been unable to get help. We have no privacy here, it's always noisy. We don't even have chance for a cuddle. It would be great to get a proper mattress, but we don't even have rice so that's not high up in our priorities."

  • Marie Yolene, Bois De Fer, age 44,  and daughter Marie Geralda Auguste, 17, in a camp opposite the Palace, Cham de Mars.  Marie's son Emanuel was trapped for 12 days before he was eventually rescued ( the New York Times did a feature on him). The daughter recounts: "I was sitting down at the house when it started to rock then blocks and wood started falling, Romario broke his leg, Mum grabbed us all and we got out all except my oldest brother Emanual.  He was trapped. We weren't sure if he was alive or dead but we kept looking for him. Then my mother and Emanuel heard each other. He called out, 'Mamma I'm alive,' Mum told everybody she could find that he  was alive,  journalists, aid workers rescue workers, After 11 days rescuers ( an Israeli SAR) pulled him out, my mother collapsed from joy."

  • Geraldine Richards thirty-four, aid queue, Petion-Ville, with her sisters remaining child, Giodania. Geraldine is a jewellery seller. She has five kids, all boys  (twins and triplets), as did her sister prior to the earth quake but only one of her sister's children survived (Giodania, pictured) when their house collapsed in the earthquake. "My sister  is so depressed she hasn't eaten. She lost her husband and  all but one of her five  kids. She hasn't even recovered the bodies. It's necessary to bury our loved ones but the government cleared them away in huge trucks and dumped them in mass graves or they were burnt.  She  has no will to live, she is suicidal. I am looking after her and her kid, one of the bags of food I have is for my sister. I am lucky to get this, if you miss the card distribution you are lucky to get food and getting back with the food is difficult sometimes. The men take it or someone will cut the bag and catch the rice in a bucket, before you realise. All the same, we are thankful for the aid."

  • All around Port Au prince are the hand painted signs and banners shown in the pictures, such was the desperation shortly after the earth quake. Many went without food and water for several days or more. The tragedy is that  it seems many of these requests went largely ignored. Theo , like many haitians is bemused "We painted a sign saying we needed food and water in the hope that the aid agencies may be able to help, but no one has helped, not one person."

  • Marie Ange St Laurent, (wearing white)  and her family, at the funeral of  Ronald St Laurent. "Ronald was thirty-one years old when he died. His home fell down on top on him during the earthquake We were all inside but Ronald did not have time to get out.  We must thank God for the opportunity at least, to bury him properly. I feel sorry for the thousands of families who do not have this chance, many cannot find their loved ones. It will be hard for them to move on, it's double the problem.  At least we can visit and put flowers on the grave.  After the quake, there were bodies everywhere many were burnt where they lay or carted off in huge trucks to mass graves."

  • Mario Vieu is the owner, director and a broadcaster at Signal FM, a small station in Petion- Ville, Port au Prince. As soon as the earthquake struck he made his way to the Radio station; by accident or design, some one had left Hotel California radio station playing on a loop. His staff were afraid to go in but he managed to persuade some journalists to come and chat about what had happened and has been broadcasting ever since. "We had a minimum of 5000 people outside  all the time for four days (not the same people). We just gave them a microphone  and then broadcasted  messages all day. "We were like a phone with two people but broadcasting to the whole city. People would call in , 'My wife and kids are under the debris  - would you send help?'; afterwards they would come back and say, thank you."

  • Pierre Yves Jovin, 56, Morgue Manager, Central hospital, Port Au Prince. Pierre has worked at the morgue for 27 years. He is the manager in charge. He is standing in front of the cold stores each of which hold about 60 bodies. Relatives are still coming to see if they can identify their loved ones such is the need to know if their families are just missing or dead.  People are searching high and low for loved ones even knowing that the chances of finding them dead or alive must be miniscule when so many have been cleared into mass graves or burnt where they lay. "After the earthquake, all the bodies were piled outside this morgue. There was a huge pile of two to three thousand and inside there were bodies piled up to the ceiling.  Every time the earth trembled, the after-shocks caused the bodies to move and I could smell the dead"

  • Days after the September 11th 2001 attacks in New York and Washington DC, the US government had identified Osama Bin Laden as the head culprit of the terrorist action on America. Here, a businessman wearing a smart dark suit and polished loafers bends down to buy the latest copy of the New York Daily News from an African American vendor near Wall Street in the heart of New York’s financial district. Bin Laden’s demonic face is spread across the front page and the words “Wanted: Dead or Alive” tells Americans that their al-Qaeda evil-doer will be caught eventually, like a baddie rounded up by the Sheriff by the last scene of a Hollywood western.
