Great stories come from ZUMA Press this week. From Tanzania to Haiti via the USA and Syria, the photographers of Zuma bring us an amazing array of great photojournalism.
Peggy Peattie, a staff photographer at the San Diego Union Tribune, brought back some impressive images of Haiti at a time when Haiti is hardly mentioned anymore. When all the medias are gone, the spotlights turned off and the hero reporters gone home, the hospital volunteers continue their hard work of accomplishing the impossible with little means. Hôpital Sacré Coeur, with only 73 beds is the largest private hospital in northern Haiti, situated in the small village of Milot. The hospice with only 3 full-time doctors managed thousands of victims in the aftermath of the earthquake that crippled this impoverished nation two years ago, and again 10 months later, when Haiti suffered a cholera outbreak. Peggy’ images beautifully relate, without using pity but rather hope, the relentless efforts of the workers of the impossible and the people they save.
