Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
MIAMI, April 30 (UPI) -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson is calling on the Bush administration to address the "horror of hunger" in Haiti.
"People are literally starving to death. Some are eating mudpies as a staple diet," said Jackson said at a news conference in Miami after arriving from a three-day visit to Haiti, The Miami Herald reported Wednesday.
Protests over spiking food prices left at least seven people dead this month and prompted lawmakers to oust Prime Minister Jacques Edouard Alexis.
On Sunday, Ericq Pierre, a former senior adviser with the Inter-American Development Bank, was named Alexis' successor.
