A nurse and long term humanitarian aid worker says the portrayal in the media of the Haiti earthquake disaster doesn't paint a full picture of the work being done there.
Claire Bader spent several months in the Caribbean country, carrying out a nutritional assessment of children and doing relief work, after it was hit by a series of three hurricanes in 2008.
