Roudeline Lamy was 23 when she was shot in the stomach. The impact of the bullet sent the small baby she was holding tumbling to the ground.
Roudeline still suffers from stomach pains and her daughter, now three years old, is paralyzed from the waist down.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been in Haiti since 1994 and in Cité Soleil since 2003. Rob Drouen, head of the ICRC delegation, explains, "Haiti is a fragile state where armed gangs can be used to stir up trouble for political reasons and abject poverty fuels discontent."

U.N.: 360,000 escape war-torn Pakistani region

More than 360,000 Pakistanis have fled their homes since May 2, the United Nations has reported.
