zReportage.com Story of the Week #799: TUESDAY August 31, 2021: ‘THE ISLAND: American River Homeless’ by ZUMA Press Newspaper Sacramento Bee Pulitzer prize winning photographer RenÈe C. Byer, who worked on this special investigation into homelessness in California: As Sacramento’s homeless population increases, more and more people are seeking shelter along the banks of the American River. Hundreds of years ago, it was home to the Maidu Indians, who used its resources for their survival. Today, a new group of roughly 400 people have taken shelter along its banks, some of them by choice, and others who are forced to call it home. ‘The island’ a secluded homeless encampment on the river has been home to some residents for decades. The camp’s inhabitants speak about their close bonds after county rangers gave notice that the camp could be cleared. Many elders say they have no place to go as they rely on social security checks that just aren’t enough with Sacramento’s escalating rent. On any given night in Sacramento, nearly 5,600 people are experiencing homelessness. The majority of them are sleeping outside. The city lacks the number of beds needed to shelter everyone. Welcome to ‘THE ISLAND: American River Homeless’..

Story of the Week #798: TUESDAY August 24, 2021: ‘DESPERATE Haiti Can’t Catch A Break’ by ZUMA Pulizer Prize Photographer Carol Guzy who is in Haiti witnessing first hand the situation, Guzy received her fourth Pulitzer for her searing coverage of the Haitian earthquake back in 2010: In the aftermath of the devastating 7.2-magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti on 14 August, authorities report more than 2,200 people dead, at least 344 missing, over 12,000 injured and upwards of 130,000 homes damaged or destroyed. Under the leadership of the Government, humanitarian teams are scaling up their response efforts in all quake-affected areas, but organizations are stretched thin from responding to multiple simultaneous crises in the country. The devastation is centered in the country’s southwestern area, where health care has reached capacity and people have lost homes and loved ones. Patience was running out in the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation. Haitians already were struggling with the coronavirus, gang violence, worsening poverty and the July 7 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse when the quake hit.
