we all sup sorrow with the poor

RIP Kate McGarrigle.

patchfire just told me about this. I hadn't realised she had been ill.

My heart goes out to Anna and Rufus and Martha and their families. So very sad.

ETA more about Kate.

look what I found

Here's a blog from Isabelle Jeanson, a staff member of Médecins Sans Frontières currently working in Port-au-Prince.

According to the e-mail I got, MSF are in the process of building an inflatable hospital, which would be way cool if it wasn't so urgently necessary. Apparently there are a lot of amputations due to crushing.
