Photo of the Day: Red tape, Haiti

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -
A man looks through a fence at the presidential palace in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, which was badly damaged in the powerful earthquake that struck Haiti in January 2010.
Many Haitians lost important documents including birth and marriage certificates in the earthquake. Without a birth certificate, a person is not able to register for school, open a bank account or access other critical services.
Cutting through bureaucratic red tape is difficult for ordinary citizens and only experienced lawyers seem able to penetrate a very complex system. The International Rescue Committee is helping people to obtain the documents they need.
Learn more about how the IRC is helping earthquake survivors in Haiti.
