On January 12th, a month ago this friday, a massive earthquake measuring 7.0 on the richter scale struck Haiti. The quake lasted about 35 seconds, but left the capital Port-Au-Pince and the surrounding inhabited areas in ruins, killing more than 200.000 and leaving 1.2 million people homeless.

Marie Sylsalve cradled her 10-day-old son, McAnley, and reflected on three weeks that have taken an almost incomprehensible toll.

She presumes he is dead – it has been three weeks now. And twelve days later she gave birth in the ruins.
