Bogota. - Firemen from Colombia helped by French and Haitian rescuers pulled a 22 day-old infant from the clutches of death after having been pinned for one week by the rubble in the Haiti coastal city Jacmel, a Bogota Fire Department official told the AP Wednesday .

Bogota Fire Corp official William Tovar provided the information via telephone from Jacmel, where he forms part of the rescue efforts in Haiti, where several stories of miracles have emerged.

“Yesterday (Tuesday) luckily, in a joint operation with firefighters from France and Jacmel, we managed to rescue a baby born 22 days ago,” Tovar said to AP.

 “She lasted an entire week (under the rubble). We have medical personnel here who undertook the procedure to resuscitate the baby, with the result that today she’s in a hospital, completely stable,” he added.

No further details were immediately provided from Jacmel, on Haiti´s Caribbean coast, 40 kilometers southwest of Port-au-Prince.

Wow! What an introduction to life. I knew babies were born with reserves, but over a week and a day. Truly an uplifting story to begin the day.

La directora de un orfanato de Puerto Príncipe se queja de que no tiene medios para atender a los chiquillos tras la catástrofe

Un grupo de niños en el orfanato Le Coeur du Marie, en la capital haitiana.- CRISTÓBAL MANUEL

Una madre de 45 años llegó ayer llorando con una niña de tres años al orfanato de Le Coeur de Marie (El Corazón de María), en la capital de Haití. El terremoto mató a sus hijos de ocho y diez años, acabó también con su marido y destruyó su casa. Sólo le quedan unos parientes en la ciudad de Jacmel. Pero no dispone de dinero para el autobús, ni para comer ni para alimentar a la niña. Y sobre todo, no tiene ganas de seguir luchando. Sólo quería dejar allí a su hija. La directora del centro, Rubina Arianne, la consoló como pudo. Pero le dijo que desde la tarde del terremoto, lo

hey Josean get a f..king life and stop being so such of negative person. why can you for ones say something positive, were your parents always beating the s..t out of you. because you comments can only come from somebody that has a lot hate in him. life is a joke laugh and smile to the sunshine instead complaining all the time. I am going to be force to change your name from Josean to Mr. complainer and i am very sure that you are going to love that name until the day you no longer post all your angry and hateful comments.

the religious comedian pat robertson must now realize that God did not want to destroy all Haitians
and this sexually perverted senile asshole should know about having a pact with the devil .
he himself had a pact with the devil.
During his two hour long heart operation the devil told him "I will let you survive if you go around a blame God for all the ills and catastrophes in this world.
He accepted.
ja ja ja ja ja
Oh I almost forget

Gitmo preps for Haitian just in case,that is what CNN is saying
meaning that they will send Haitian there,so my question is why then some Peoples
are mad because the Dominican Republic will not agreed to bring refuges?
why USA/FRANCE don;t bring them to their country but yet we Dominican should get them in our poor
country?
interesante eh.
thanks

Hacienda Minister Vicente Bengoa is optimistic that international organizations will reimburse the Dominican Republic for its expenses in assisting Haiti after last week's devastating earthquake. Bengoa said that the European Union ambassador as well as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that they would support the reimbursement of the help offered to Haiti as long as it was well documented and invoiced. , HOW COME I KNEW SOME WHERE ALONG THE LINE
SOME ONE WAS GOING TO MAKE BUCKS FROM THIS TRAGERY.
POCKETS WILL BE LINED WITH BIG BUKS WITH THE PHONEY INVOICES THEY WILL BE GIVEN TO THE GOVERNMENTS HANDING OUT THE DOLLARS.
HOW DID I KNOW THIS BEFORE?

r sosua the US are setting up the camps for boat people they catch trying to go by sea for return to Haiti at a much later date like they did under Clinton.
It is not a refugee camp but an internment camp.

Running a vandetta against our spitual leader LION NEL Fernandez is that your idea of serious debate ,dialogue or discussion ?
