New York Times, January 25, 2010:
International aid organizations said they had identified three sites to
temporarily resettle the homeless. Brazilian teams have begun clearing a
field [the site below.] in the Croix des Bouquets neighborhood for a tent
city for some 10,000 people, according to Niurka Piñeiro, a spokeswoman
for the International Organization for Migration, but it estimates the need
at 100,000 tents for families of five, to assist 500,000 people.
Another temporary settlement will be established on Rue de Tabarre for the
estimated 4,000 people now camped in squalid conditions on the grounds of
the prime ministers home. A third settlement will be built in the city
of Léogâne. And French authorities have said that they will
begin efforts to provide water and sanitation to several thousand people
crowded in the Champ de Mars plaza downtown.
