ECHO in Haïti

ECHO has now deployed a team of 15 people to the stricken area (humanitarian experts and support staff). They are working round the clock to help ensure EU-funded support gets to people who are in desperate need. They report that delivery of humanitarian aid is scaling up rapidly.

I'm sure it was well spent! I saw the UN delegation lapping it up in a 5 star hotel over there.

Those in Haiti have maged to get plenty of what they don't need and nothing they actually need.

I can;t but be cynical when it comes to aid workers - Doctors make sense, however there are many jobs the aid workers do that most Haitians would have begged to have done for a fraction of the cost. It's also kinda degrading to them as well to have us nurse-maid them

EU is doing good in Haiti. I wish I can help. If there is any way Rescue Organizations in Haiti need a helping hand in technical aid, I would be pleased to participate.

Speak of things you know something about. Its easy to brainlessly replicate Klauses nonsense.

EU´s position in Haiti is quite funny. Act as the strong organisation,not as a crew of bureaucrat officers.

God be with everyone in Haiti. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Our hearts are breaking for your broken lives. May aid reach you swiftly. Agape
