Port-au-Prince – February 2010
The Clerge family in their shack next to their original house. The Clerge family used to live in a house in the Carrefour area of
Port-au-Prince, Haiti. They lived there with nine people: father, Nelvis, 55, mother, Elvire, 45, and their seven children. Nelvis is a construction worker and who built his house with his own hands over the past 25 years.
The earthquake on January 12 destroyed everything and took the life of their daughter Neemi, 8. They now live in a shack next to their house, with their children and neighbors. Elvire was injured in the earthquake and is at the MSF hospital.
