Short thread about my experiences in the aftermath of the #HaitiEarthquake , 10 years ago to the day. Quake hit at 16.53 local time, 21.53 GMT, and lasted less than 30 seconds. I worked as a logistics advisor for @Concern at the time and flew out the next day. I’d worked in #Haiti in 2008 (loved it, such a beautiful place, such friendly people) so I knew the team of 100 staff. Miraculously only 1 had died. Nearly all had lost their homes tho. And all were severely traumatised.
