19 January 2010

Deployed relief team reported in much concern on fragmented road conditions with biggest obstacle lying ahead in distributing the supplies donated worldwide; the possibility of massive riots angered with whole delay of distribution process.
Already reaching two hundred thousand of death tolls, sluggish handling on corpses with sweltering weather only makes the air worse, burdening epidemic outbreak worries.
Especially worried are children and aged with weak immune systems in constant exposure to malnutrition and contaminated atmosphere.
Byung Hee Lee, the director of emergency relief of Good Neighbors in the field reported, “Diarrheal disease is rapidly spreading and without urgent quarantine control and sanitation, the condition here is at high risk”

Good Neighbors made a decision for further deployment of supplies and cash of total 400,000USD following the previous 100,000USD, with another emergency relief team for site investigation and logistics on 18th of January. Medical practitioners are planned to be deployed on 20th (Wednesday) with most urgent ‘quarantine specialist’ to be sought provided locally for quick respond.

Good Neighbors is recruiting volunteering doctors and nurses who can contribute minimum 3 weeks in Haiti.
For any support including medical aid, donations and supplies please call us
