When I was there. We could not even pay them to unload the free food and Aid from the Docks. They refused to lift a finger. They would not even work to receive free food. They wanted us to unload it and hand it out. They said it was our job. They were arguing this as their Children stood beside them showing clear signs of starvation and Mal-nourishment.
IMO. It's a dead Island not worthy of one ounce of our Sympathy. The US built a state of the art power plant back in the mid 90's. It was built to bring power to Port de Prince. One week after it was up and running and handed over to the Haitians. They looted and stripped it immediately.
