'More than 2,000 US marines are set to join 1,000 US troops on the ground in Haiti, as aid efforts gather pace almost a week after the earthquake'.
During the past couple of days Haiti has fallen into complet chaos as thousands of people fleeing the capital and many are seeking US visas. Looting is now taking place in the capital amid the arrival of US marines. It was run by rival gangs whom took the law into their hands. According to the report, situation has been improving gradually despite of the violence and urgent needed food, water and medical supplies, heavy equipment etc. has been delivered to the people, however, the pace still slow due to the heavily congested airport as well as many roads are still blocked by corpses and debris.
Special UN envoy former US president Bill Clinton arrived on Monday and he reiterated that many has to be done whereby UN troops is expediting their duty to keep the society under security whereby US troops is to take full control organizing distribution supplies to those desperately in need!
UN launched an appeal for US$562 million intended to help 3 million people for six months which has been echoed by EU, UK, US, France, Norway, World Bank etc. Now the aid pledged to Haiti already reaches US$868 million.
I do prayed that all donations including money could really reaches the hands of Haitian people instead of transferred into the pocket of corrupted bureaucratic officials or welathy group of people!
