Port-au-Prince: Heavy floods swamp Haiti’s capital city, Port-au-Prince. Sewers blocked with garbage promise more misery– raising fears of cholera. Cholera has killed nearly 9,000 Haitians since it broke out in the country in late 2010.

But for some, such fears do not interfere with the ordinary pleasures of childhood.
But, with at least six people dead in the flooding, it is a time of misery for those who lost loved ones — including this woman who lost her child in the waters.
“I felt the water over my head while I was sleeping with the baby. When I looked around, it was too late and the baby had already drowned.”, the woman whose child drowned in the flood water.
