We headed into PAP early for Dwight to catch an MFI flight out. After leaving him at the airport, we began to search for components for a water storage & distribution system for the camp. Ended up shopping in the old part of PAP where there is heavy quake damage. The old buildings, made mostly of un-reinforced brick, disintegrated or toppled or collapsed in pancake fashion. Multiple buildings on every street in all directions as far as you can see…every block in every direction. The scope is beyond comprehension. I know I’ve seen only the smallest part.
We encountered a couple rubble removal & demolition teams with heavy equipment. We saw more teams of Haitians in masks digging through piles of rubble searching for who knows what. It would be far quicker to count the buildings that show no signs of damage. They are rare. As we shopped and entered buildings, though I came in to see the contents of the store, I would enter looking up at how badly the building was damaged and if I really wanted to go in based on that.
More later…batteries on the computer and human are running low.
in Jesus,
Lane
