LOOTING is spreading in the Haitian capital as hundreds of young men, some drunk for extra "courage", roam the streets nearly a week after the earthquake which is now estimated to have killed 200,000 people.
While hundreds of millions of dollars have been pledged to help Haiti, aid is still not reaching some of the hardest hit areas because survivors are too scared of attacks on aid convoys to accept assistance.

But while the has Red Cross has warned that violence by desperate Haitians is growing, the top US officer on the ground, Lieutenant-General Ken Keen, has insisted: "The level of violence we see now is below pre-earthquake levels".

"Is there gang violence? Yes. Was there gang violence before the earthquake? Absolutely," he said.

Thousands of peacekeepers, police and soldiers have been sent in to Haiti from nearby nations to restore order and help distribute aid. Agencies on the ground in the capital, Port-au-Prince, have said the effort is now running more efficiently after the confusion of the initial aftermath of the 7.0 quake which hit last week.

But the situation for survivors is still one of unimaginable horror. Gangs of looters roam the streets - the top target is toothpaste, which is smeared under the nose to mask the constant stench of death.

In one instance, looters scavenging a collapsed market were fired on by police as they tried to steal bottles of rum, armed with broken bottles, machetes and razors. "I am drinking as much as I can. It gives courage," one young looter, carrying a piece of wood with nails in it.

As the death toll approaches that of the Boxing Day tsunami of 2004, there are still another 250,000 injured and 1.5 million left homeless in desperate need of attention. Even those whose homes survived are sleeping on the streets for fear of aftershocks.

About 50,000 people are sleeping on a golf course in Port-au-Prince and the World Food Program is planning a tent city on the outskirts for 100,000.

Reports from the city have said about 70,000 bodies have been buried, but many more bodies still line the streets.

Survivors are reportedly dumping corpses at intersections in the hope aid agencies or authorities - even garbage trucks - will eventually remove them.

  • So, they are looting because they are in survival mode, ok. And they are raping, because?

  • a soldier buddy of mine was in the relief effort. He felt sorry for a haitian kid he saw. so he gave the kid his only MRE. To his surprise, the little bastard said "i want fucking candy!" I like the japanese society.

  • They are like fucking savages ....hey .... what about making a reality show about this ?

    ```

    I can host it and they can call it the Michael Savage channel

  • As racist a video this is, I agree with it on the Haitian issue.

    But only on the supposition that you needn't look any further than your own inner-urban backyard: Los Angeles, Detroit, Houston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York... or any continent like Africa for instance!

    Anywhere black people dominate the population you find extreme poverty, filth, squalor, looting, thuggery and lawlessness.

    They simply can't seem to organize well enough to function at basic-levels without white intervention.

  • cheat and steal is in there genetic code. selfish and savage to the extreme.

  • Black Governance.

  • Why am I not surprised at all this? This is going from bad to worse.

  • @LiberalHuntingSeason why dont you shut the fuck up you racist prick..burn in hell you sick fucker..

  • @LiberalHuntingSeason yeah that black guys making excuses for them but the fact is their violent animals
