	Gonaives
		Gonaives is a port city with an estimated population of 200,000.
		To say that Gonaives was traumatized is a gross understatement: 80% of the population was affected, more than 4,500 houses were destroyed, dead livestock contaminated water supplies, edible food was in scarce supply, crops were wiped out, access to the city was treacherous at best, and security was non-existent.
		Gonaives’ hospital was damaged and closed down indefinitely, and health care made available primarily through small health centers.
