Sisters Fredeline Alfred and Carine Alfred

are shown the lights on the coffin chosen

for their deceased mother, Anaira Jules,

at a morgue in Saint-Marc.

Jules,

who lived her whole life in a small hamlet in rural Haiti,

had never set foot on a plane.

But for her last journey, she was sent off

in a gleaming white, plane-shaped coffin complete

with a wing-tail and illuminated windows

Haiti earthquake 10 days on: survivors still 'hungry and thirsty'

Video Guardian News 25 August 2021

The death toll is still rising 10 days

after a catastrophic earthquake struck southern Haiti

on the morning of 14 August.

More than 2,200 deaths have been recorded so far,

while at least 30,000 families have had to abandon their homes.

Many were sleeping on the streets

when Tropical Storm Grace struck two days later,

bringing high winds and pelting rain.

But despite the hardship,

many Haitians are wary of the massive international aid response

which is under way

If It Were My Home

The headlines tell a lot about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife,

evacuations of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

But you may have one very basic question

that you can't easily find an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

You can look at maps

and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great

to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States

to get a sense of its size?

IfItWereMyHome.com

lets you do just that.
