School collapse in PAP, Haiti

A sad thing occurred today: a two story school building collapsed with about 700 students and teachers inside. There are a number of places you can find more information, but here is one:


The school is located in Petionville which is where I stay when I go down to PAP. St Joseph's School for Boys is in Petionville.

Also, very sadly and maddeningly, two of the hospitals in PAP (including the General Hospital) are currently closed due to strikes.
