US soldiers and humvees surround the entrance to the Salvation Army on Delmas 2 in Port au Prince. A line of Haitians moves through the back entrance of the walled property and exits through the front gate. They are each given a small box of food.
Outside a Haitian man, grateful for the food, explains, "Thousands of children are living without shelter on Delmas 2, if it rains they will die!" Today the skies over the city of two million Haitians affected by January 12's massive quake are ominously dark. Rain is on its way.
All over Port au Prince tent cities in side streets, city parks, parking lots, front yards have become a home for Haiti's innumerable homeless possibly 500,000 people.
Medical care, food and water are still the priority in the country ripped apart by a massive 7.0 earthquake. The approaching rainy season moves shelter to first place.
