Haiti Relief Effort: CNN’s Anderson Cooper Carries Child Covered in Blood

Last night, during Anderson Cooper 360 coverage of the relief efforts in Haiti, he showed a very graphic scene of a child injured after ‘looters’ began throwing rocks and pieces of concrete from a store roof.  The boy was hit on the head by a chunk of concrete and was bleeding profusely. The image, while very graphic and heart wrenching, is a scene of such utter desperation of people that are down to basic survival skills in order to stay alive amidst such dire conditions.
