PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Changlair Aristide has made his living in a smouldering, hellish landscape, the stinking refuse of an impoverished land. Dump trucks roar 24 hours a day, leaving 100,000 tonnes of waste each month across 200 acres. “We don’t have a toilet here,” says Rene Phanor, a slum resident who also works for a local aid organization. “We are living in an inhumane situation,” Phanor said, adding that there is no health clinic in the landfill settlement. As the sun bore down on a recent day, vultures hovered overhead as pigs, cattle and goats fed on the trash.
