520 _a"Near an old car axle on a dry hillside, the small bleached-white skull of a child rests under a thorny bush. Nearby a pelvis is still wrapped in the tattered elastic band of a boy's underwear. Bones are scattered for hundreds of yards--teeth, femurs, vertebrae, skulls--half covered, like the broken bottles and car parts, in the fine red dust of this eroded coastline. This is where the main morgue in Port-au-Prince, 20 miles away, brings the destitute and unclaimed, the thousands of people who die every year with no means for a private funeral." (MIAMI HERALD) This article reveals the gruesome conditions at Port-au-Prince's main morgue which illustrate in stark terms "the failure of Haiti's government to attend to the most basic needs of the poor."
