Prioritize (more) helicopters to mobilize relief supplies in Haiti
Result:
Thank you for visiting the petition site. Given the significant positive changes in logistics of supply distribution in Haiti the petition is no longer needed. Thank you for being an involved individual. Details on the positive changes in logistics planning in Haiti are below.
As of 2/4/10 the ground mobility of "supplies" in Haiti has dramatically changed. As it pertains to food: World Food Program (WFP) has established 16 permanent sites for food distribution in and around Port au Prince (PAP). A coupon system has been established to regulate and document distributions. "Women" can take these coupons to redeem a 55 pound bag of rice. To date 850,000 people have received food. UN stabilization Mission in Haiti (MUNISTAH) reports that general security is stabilized. The UN has hired haitians to clear the roads, this also improves ground mobility. As it pertains to medical treatment: Over 23 thousand patients have been treated by the US dept. of health, USAID, and OFDA alone. The joint US military Haitian task force have treated 3, 300 patients, 800 of which have been on board one of the four US ships. Florida alone has treated 530 Haitians and many caribbean country states are in the process of accepting the injured. Project Medishare for Haiti (private relief group) plans on building a 250 bed state of the art trauma center in PAP. For additional up-to-date information visit www.USAID.org. Thanks again.
