Images Of Haiti Days After The Earthquake, And Now

Published January 12, 2011 at 8:47 PM PST
This story was published more than 14 years ago.

NPR photographer David Gilkey revisits a few key locations in Haiti one year after a massive earthquake devastated the capital, Port-au-Prince, and left more than 200,000 people dead. Conditions in some locations have improved in the past year; others changed very little.

Editor's Note: Some of these photographs are not suitable for all audiences.
