Haitian Amputees

Hundreds of thousands of people lost limbs in the Haitian earthquake as many people suffered crush injuries or quickly spreading infections which made amputations necessary to save their lives.

Here, ActionAid takes an unflinching look at how some of these amputees are coping with the aftermath of the devastating Haitian earthquake.

This video was provided by ActionAid, which has been running child sponsorship programmes in Haiti for over 10 years, building better lives for children and their families.
 
ActionAid is providing immediate relief and support to people affected by the earthquake and is committed to restoring lives and livelihoods in the long term.
