WASHINGTON, Mar 9, 2004 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- There is no indication of mass migration or a humanitarian disaster in crisis-stricken Haiti, US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said at a Defense Department briefing on Tuesday.
"There is no indication of mass migration," Rumsfeld said, " Quite the contrary, it is down to zero for the last three days, as I recall, of anyone trying to leave the country."

"There is no indication of humanitarian disaster. There is ample food in the country from everything we are told. There may be some distribution problems, but neither of those are currently an issue," Rumsfeld said.

STAMFORD, Conn., March 9 -- An AmeriCares cargo jet filled with more than 42,000 pounds of emergency supplies departs from Miami International Airport Wednesday for thousands of Haitians reeling from more than a month of violence and civil unrest. The cargo jet is to touch down in Port-au-Prince at approximately 11:30 a.m. local time.
The cargo consists of medicines, medical supplies, pediatric nutritional supplements and other disease prevention medications. During the past two months AmeriCares has delivered to Haiti's capital and second largest city, Cap-Haïtien, two shipments of antibiotics and other lifesaving supplies worth $1.1 million.

There's a humanitarian disaster in Haiti and the Bush junta is responsible.

these people are a bunch of thugs and liars.

We need to get them out ASAP.

Haiti - Flash Appeal
9 March 2004
1. Today, the United Nations and its partners launched a Flash Appeal for the amount of US$ 35 million to meet urgent humanitarian needs and establish the basis for recovery in the next six months for the Haitian people.

2. An estimated 3 million people (37% of the total population) have been affected by the crisis. The majority of these people live in Port-au-Prince, Gonaïves, Cap Haïtien, Saint Marc, Port-de-Paix and Hinche. More than half of them are children under 18 years old, and an estimated 700,000 are women of childbearing age. Priority concerns are: security, humanitarian access, food and medical aid, fuel, health care, and epidemiological risk.

3. The objective of the Flash Appeal is to respond to the most immediate needs of the Haitian population and to establish the basis for rehabilitation of social services and economic recovery.

On board were seven ambulances and 30 emergency medical kits donated by the French National Society and five emergency medical kits donated by the Netherlands Red Cross. Each kit, to be distributed to medical centres and first-aid posts by the Haitian Red Cross, contains enough supplies to treat 10,000 people for a period of three months.

Sleep peacefully. Our Ceo's and the IMF-freedom fighters are safe, to defend us for our freedom. Even THESE Chiraque-France-Freedom-Fries taste good again. Our old allies got the message.

You need to be human to do that.

Disgusting Slime, is Rummie. Humanitarian orgs will be cleaning up his vomit for years to come.

Yet he doesn't stand out in _Bush's galaxy of sub-stars.

AI is also alarmed by the humanitarian consequences of the violence in Haiti. The poorest country in the Western atmosphere, Haiti's instability threatens to sweep the country into an appalling humanitarian crisis and provoke a potential refugee outflow to neighbouring countries.

"Together all of these factors have plunged a large number of farming households into serious difficulty," said Anne Bauer, Head of FAO's Emergency Operations and Rehabilitation Division.

Many farmers face the risk of being unable to sell their harvest and therefore to get the resources needed to afford essential foodstuffs such as oils, meat and beans.

Some five million of Haiti's total population of eight million live in rural areas. FAO estimates that three million of these are facing serious difficulties. Before the recent crisis, almost half of the population was food insecure.
