Haiti aid relief steps up amid coordination concerns

With 12,000 US troops in or around Haiti, several thousand from the UN, and relief organisations on the ground, aid operations are getting organised in Haiti, more than a week after the catastrophic quake. In a huge global effort, more than 1.2 billion dollars has been pledged in aid funding, but the country's president said coordination is a major problem. Duration: 01:33.

@fredeck19 You twit, that is not their purpose since there are many rescue crews from around the world. They are there to ensure distribution and to security where the Haitian government has requested.

Im wishing I could've signed up for the Canadian Forces reserves alittle early and I'd be down there helping out, it's a bad feeling watching this knowing there's really nothing you can do to help hands on.

No help has been received from the US military so far, they are only wandering around the street with their weapons, they didn't even lift a rock to help survivors
