Haiti

In this handout image provided by the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), Grave diggers take a break under a group of trees while digging mass graves January 28, 2010 in Ti Tanyen, outside Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The workers labored for three days to dig eight mass graves, using shovels and pick axes, in the rural valley. The area has been used as a dumping ground for bodies, and mass graves, since the January 12, earthquake. (Photo by Sophia Paris/MINUSTAH via Getty Images)
