Some young children use the plastic bags that contain humanitarian meals as makeshift boots at a survivor camp in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Jan. 21, 2010. Officials estimate that there are as many as 10,000 families living in the camp just below a relief distribution point set up by the 82nd Airborne Division’s 1st Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment.
