Some half a million people are streaming from the countryside back into the shattered Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, and some local officials say that's complicating efforts to rebuild the city. We talk about the human cost of the disaster with rescue workers, doctors and others who've just returned from Haiti.

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Max Blanchet, vice chair of the Lambi Fund of Haiti, former president of the U.S. Board of Fonkoze and a local Haitian-American activist
