On January 12th 2010 Haiti was hit by a massive earthquake. As it so happens it was the feature of the first ever post on Nexusimages. Now one year later we are back with another feature. Haiti one year after the quake. It tells a sad story. 250.000 People were estimated to be killed in the quake and infrastructure was left destroyed. The bodies are gone, but the infrastructure is a long long way away from begin fixed. As you can see from the one year later images. Hundreds of millions of dollars were raised and a lot of good has been done, but somehow we can’t stop wondering why not more progress has been made.
