INNOVATION’s Daniel Lozano is in Haiti, covering the news for PUBLICO.

In a very dramatic way.

He writes today:

“Nothing works. The stores are empty and closed. There are no services. No water. No electricity. The hospitals don’t work… the aid doesn’t arrive”

He landed in Haiti via Jimaní (Dominican Republic).

He sleeps in the streets.

Nobody wants to sleep inside any building.

The tremors continue all the time.

The only hotel rooms available…are full with journalists!

The president of Haiti left his palace in a mototaxi…

Since the earthquake he wears the same clothes.

Seven ministry buildings are in ruins.

The telecommunication towers are down.

The frontier with the Dominican Republic is the only way to escape or bring help.

The Dominican Republic people are helping very much.

………………………

Daniel is a fantastic reporter.

Always in the right place.

Covering real news.

In the old fashion way.

That’s the only way to cover the news!

A real expert of the Latin American volcano.

So, today I got a very short message from him.

“Juan Antonio, I am in Haiti. I never in my life saw something like this. It looks like the end of the world”
