  • A house destroyed by Typhoon Haiyan, Santa Fe, Bantayan Island, The Philippines. On November 6 2013 Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines and was one of the most powerful storms to ever make landfall. The storm had a devastating impact on the fishing and seaweed industry and caused extensive environmental damage which will have a long term impact on ecosystems and the communities who rely on them for food and employment. Oxfam is working to support the immediate and long-term needs of affected communities on Bantayan Island.

  • The 12th Fourth Plinth sculpture named 'The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist' by artist Michael Rakowitz, in Trafalgar Square, on 5th April 2018 in London, United Kingdom. The artwork attempts to recreate more than 7,000 objects which have been lost forever. Some were looted from the Iraq Museum in 2003, while others were destroyed at archaeological sites across the country during the Iraq War. Rakowitz has recreated the Lamassu. This winged bull and protective deity guarded the entrance to Nergal Gate of Nineveh from 700 BC until it was destroyed by Daesh in 2015. The Fourth Plinth is an empty plinth in Trafalgar Square in central London originally intended to hold an equestrian statue. For over 150 years there was much squabbling about what to do with the fourth plinth, but very little agreement, until the temporary use of the plinth to display three pieces of art in the last years of the 20th century lead to a commission being formed to decide on a use for it. Eventually that commission unanimously decided to use it for the temporary display of artworks.

  • Chaumone Auguste  mourns the loss of her mother, Mereille Jeudy at the main cemetery in Port Au Prince. Mereille was sixty-four when she died.

  • A sign in front of a mass grave containing hundreds of bodies at the main cemetery in Port Au Prince. The sign reads: "The hole is full. We have no more room for bodies".
    haiti_54_1.jpg
  • 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."

  • Livis, leaning against a tree at his neighbour Jocelyn's home near Cham de Mars,  Port au Prince. He is helping Jocelyn to rescue his belongings. Livis was not affected directly, he did not lose any family himself,  but his experiences were similar to those of many Haitians living in central Port Au Prince.  He is a Winnie the Pooh fan and reads it to his five children. He says, "If you're excited what is the point? You have no choice but to be calm. Captured in my mind are the scenes immediately after the earthquake: the collapsed buildings, the dead bodies and worst of all the cries for help from those under the debris. The cries that would go unanswered until eventually they stopped. They cried but we couldn't help"

  • Alex is a co-director of 'Haitians helping Haitians' a charity that gives Haitians the means to help themselves, to improve their quality of life. (http://www.hhelpingh.org) Alex Juste was lying on his bed when the earthquake struck: "There was a big shuddering noise, I felt the bed shaking" he says. The walls started opening. I could see right into my neighbours' apartment. I had to see what had happened so I started running. I lost it totally. I was screaming, 'This is the end of the world!'  There were people under concrete,  saying, 'sir, help me,!' But I couldn't do anything." Alex's experience is typical. No Haitian has been left untouched.

  • Ricardo Simeone, centre, from Ferret, Port Au Prince queues outside Muncheez restaurant to get a hot meal. Ricardo  was trying to get out of the house as the earthquake hit but was not quick enough. The house fell on him, he lost the tip of his fingers but he hasn't lost anybody. He is homeless, however and camping in Saint Pierre, and very pleased to be getting a daily meal at Muncheez. He queues every day for three or four hours. Gilbert Bailey, owner of Muncheez, who has been running the soup kitchen since the day after the earthquake was one of the few Haitians not to be directly affected and wants to give back.  He feeds one thousand Haitians every day.  He says, People can contribute directly themselves , search face book under "Muncheez Food Drive Haiti".

  • 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 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."
