Haiti's desperation

 MIAMI BEACH, FL - JANUARY 14: Residents of Miami Beach and surrounding neighborhoods deliver goods to a truck being loaded in South Beach to be delivered to the nation of Haiti after a devastating earthquake there earlier this week, January 14, 2010 in Miami Beach, Florida. This is the third truck loaded by a grassroots group of community activists who spread the word using social networks and in 24 hours have gathered donations. Planeloads of rescuers and relief supplies are headed to Haiti as governments and aid agencies launched a massive relief operation after a powerful earthquake that may have killed tens of thousands. U.S. President Barack Obama ordered a swift and aggressive U.S. rescue effort, while the European Union activated its crisis systems and the Red Cross and United Nations unlocked emergency funds and supplies for the destitute nation. Much of Port-au-Prince was reduced to rubble by the 7.0-strong quake on January 12 but the airport was operational, opening the way for international relief aid to be ferried in by air as well as by sea.
