It's important for us all to read this special issue of the New Internationalist magazine: Haiti, two years on. What has happened in Haiti since the departure of the massed ranks of the global media that reported on the earthquake?

The incidence of disasters is on the rise due to climate change, so it's important to learn lessons in how best to implement effective emergency aid.

NOTE: This one year subscription will start with three free issues - the special issue on Haiti, plus two other recent issues. You'll also receive a fascinating free DVD about the bias inherent in world maps. GUARANTEE: Your three free magazines and DVD are yours to keep, even if you decide to cancel and receive a refund for all undelivered issues of your subscription.

An insight into life following a disaster

The tent cities are still in place and the people in them feel forgotten by the outside world. To mark the second anniversary of the devastating earthquake, we present an insight into life in Port-au-Prince now - in the form of a graphic novella or cartoon strip. The cartoon was created by a Haitian comic book artist and a Haitian political journalist.

Beyond relief

Haiti is not just recovering from the earthquake but from many political and economic interventions of recent decades. Will Haiti ever be free of unwanted invaders? The magazine provides you with a historical timeline to set the current scenario in context. The earthquake proved so devastating partly because the country's development model had failed so completely previously. Now those funding the reconstruction of the country are pursuing the same disastrous path.

Where did all the money go?

The earthquake prompted an outpouring of generosity. International donations totalled more than $10 billion. The New Internationalist magazine assesses the work of the NGOs and UN agencies that have been trying to rebuild Haiti.
