Haiti Recovery - Joseph Guyler Delva

We started this segment with a clip from Jerry Rusher. He's an American doctor who is volunteering at a medical clinic in Marchand Dessalines in Haiti. For several days now, Haiti has been coping with a cholera epidemic in the Central Plateau region north of Port-au-Prince. More than 3,000 people have been infected. And more than 250 have died.

The good news is that the Haitian Government and some aid groups say the outbreak appears to be slowing. But cholera speaks to a larger problem for Haiti. After nine months of rebuilding, more than a million people are still living in squalid tent cities.

And even the most basic of services -- such as clean drinking water -- still aren't available to many Haitians. Joseph Guyler Delva has been charting Haiti's progress since the earthquake. He is an award-winning Haitian journalist and a correspondent for Reuters newswire. He was in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
