Child Labor

Petion-Ville, HAITI — A child at a 5000-person refugee camp west of Port-au-Prince carries a cinderblock on his head. Shot while on a mission with a group from the 82nd Airborne Div. This camp had previously not been found by relief organizations. With tin roofs, salvaged sections of concrete walls serving as building materials, intelligence officers with the 82nd wonder if this camp pre-dated the earthquake of Jan. 12th, 2010.
