Web Special: Displaced Haitians face intimidation and attacks in makeshift camps

(extended version)

According to the International Office of Migration, 1.5 million Haitians remain homeless six months after January's earthquake - other relief groups put that number even higher. In Port Au Prince and surrounding areas, many live in tent cities that lack basic services, such as reliable food, water and sanitation. But there are added challenges. A new report released this week by the group International Action Ties documents a lack of security and forced eviction in sites around Port Au Prince. At some camps, residents are facing intimidation and raids by armed men.

We're joined by Deepa Panchang, one of the field mobilizers with International Action Ties, a grassroots community development organization. She joins us from Port Au Prince.
