The citizen scoop on Haiti

Five days after the earthquake in Haiti, the enormity of the bare numbers seems too much to comprehend. Some 140,000 lie dead -- tens of thousands of bodies are still entombed beneath the rubble. And an ever-dwindling handful of survivors lie with them, trapped alive, awaiting either rescue or death. 

In Port-Au-Prince, 300,000 citizens have no home but the streets. More than three-and-a-half million Haitians, according to the Red Cross, find their lives turned inside out by the quake and its aftermath. 

Since last Tuesday, when a 7.0-magnitude earthquake in Haiti left thousands dead and its capital city in ruins, NewsTrust, a non profit news service that provides review tools to help people consume and critique news has searched for the most reliable journalism about this tragic event and the humanitarian response that followed. You can see the results on its Haiti topic page.
