One survivor, Evelyn Michele, detailed the struggle for women like her while describing to reporters on Monday the difficulty she has finding food and water for her children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are here with our children\u2026we need to feed them, we need food, water dress,\u201d she explained. \u201cThey are crying because they are hungry and thirsty. We need medication and now we use this place as a shelter, then we really need help to feed our children, ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Currently, many Haitians are facing similar situations with some even being forced into living in horrible circumstances such as tents made of bed sheets along highways.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2499443\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2499443\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2499443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AP21236063170556.jpg\" alt=\"Nurse Gabrielle Lagrenade, center, sleeps next to her daughter on the the side of the road in Les Cayes, Haiti, Monday, Aug. 23, 2021, a week after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake made her rental home unsafe to live in.

(AP Photo\/Matias Delacroix)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>One local pastor, Lindor Obed, said the earthquake has made most of the Haiti county side unlivable. He added, the quake has destroyed much of what Haitians are accustomed to with it destroying their homes, businesses and way of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are in a complicated situation, it\u2019s really deplorable,\u201d Obed explained. \u201cTheir homes are destroyed and now they live in tents when it rains. It is catastrophic. It is terrible for them. This is not a place to live in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Relief for the Haitian people has not come swiftly due to Tropical Storm Grace, which tore through the country shortly after the deadly earthquake. The U.S. along with other countries are sending aid to assist the struggling nation. The earthquake is said to have killed at least 2,200, injured over 12,000 and has left over hundreds missing.<\/p>\n<p>This comes weeks after the country was shook by the assassination of its president in early July, which threw the country in political turmoil. Experts say the political uncertainty has only served to harm the Haitian people in this difficult time following the deadly earthquake.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/fda-grants-full-approval-for-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine\/\">FDA Grants Full Approval For Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Injured children and their parents sleep on mattresses, on the floor of the Immaculee Conception hospital, in Les Cayes, Haiti, Monday, Aug. 23, 2021, a week after a 7.2 magnitude &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-679793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
