Ten years after Haiti quake, a man left disabled struggles to rebuild his life

PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Haiti's calamitous earthquake a decade ago leveled much of the capital, killed tens of thousands and left some 1.5 million people homeless. One of its longer term consequences has been the estimated 4,000 to 6,000 people who were permanently disabled as a result of the quake - people like 32-year-old Isaac Joseph, who lost the use of his legs after his neighbor's house collapsed on him. "That was the worst day there could ever be since the beginning of time," said Joseph, who has been wheelchair-bound ever since.
