UN Slams Haitian Hospitals

The UN has claimed they will stop sending free medicine to Haiti, if their hospitals are charging for their medical care. The authorities made medical care free for everyone after the devastating earthquake. Plus millions of dollars have been donated, as well as people going over to Haiti and helping. Haiti hospitals claim none of their hospitals have been charging for their services, but the UN said if they can't make a strong enough argument to disprove this, they will only fund nongovernmental groups and private hospitals will free medicine and money. As for now the Haitian people are trying to recover and keep "looking to the sky" to see that no rain is coming. There hasn't been any major rain yet, but they say it's only a matter of time. Also, hurricane season starts in June. With all the relief efforts and money sent, we will have to see how this devastation plays out, and hopefully mother nature can cooperate more than it has recently.
