The international aid efforts to relieve the suffering of the people of Haiti are slowly taking effect. The destruction was beyond the experience of welfare agencies, the already meagre port and airport facilities inoperable, law and order lost, plans for massive disaster relief simply lacking the agencies and organisation to cope with a crisis of this magnitude.
Medecins sans Frontieres succeeded in getting doctors in place. They are frustrated by lack of drugs and dressings. Rotary International have also succeeded in getting ShelterBoxes and a specialist crew to Port au Prince. For more information on shelterboxes simply contact http://www.shelterbox.org or visit the display on the ground floor of the Eastgate Centre (by Starbucks and near Debenhams).
