Why Does Now Look So Much Like Then?

A look at Haiti, one year after the earthquake.

JANUARY 11, 2011

The rivers run through it: At left, Haitians wash clothes in a stream on Jan. 8, 2011 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. One year prior, the same river dried up after Haiti's devastating Jan. 12, 2010 earthquake, which killed more than 200,000 people. The river was later replenished by a sudden flash flood. On the anniversary of that disaster, though, Haitians are mostly still struggling to clear the wreckage and restore some semblance of normal life. The following photos pair a photo from Haiti taken immediately after the earthquake, at right, with a photo taken in the last several weeks, at left.
