A dire situation in Haiti turned worse Tuesday as heavy downpours from Tropical Storm Grace caused flooding and delayed rescue efforts following Saturday’s deadly earthquake that killed at least 1,400 people. The difficulties have left many survivors in urgent need of food, supplies and medical attention.
To discuss the ongoing humanitarian crisis, Jim Braude was joined on Greater Boston by Linda Dorcena Forry, a former Massachusetts legislator who was the state’s first state senator of Haitian descent, and Pierre Noel, executive director of the Haiti Development Institute, an initiative of the Boston Foundation.
