Days after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, 

 as do the numbers of the injured and displaced.

Destroyed buildings, blocked roads, the pandemic and now a tropical storm are making it 

 for humanitarian organizations to assess the damage and deliver much-needed aid.

Margarett Lubin, Haiti's country representative from the aid organization CORE, 

 from Port-au-Prince. She said that responders need to manage multiple overlapping crises at the same time in order to deliver emergency relief, and spoke about the role that the international community can play.

"I think the need really in Haiti is the funding," Lubin said. "We need the funding on the ground. It's essential so that we can respond to the need, in the midst of all the emergencies that we just described, so that we can really make an impact on the ground and get people out of suffering."
