(Community Matters) quick aggregated update from HelpHaiti partners:
@PiH_org: Outside of Port-au-Prince, PIH’s hospitals continue to see overwhelming volume of patients, especially for surgery. PIH emergency surgical and medical teams are currently located in St Marc, Cange, Hinche, and Belladere. These sites are being supported by medical teams and supplies coming in via the Dominican Republic. PIH Medical Director happy to report additional field hospital site open in PAP – a total of 13 operating rooms up and running, and they now have electricity so can operate over night. Three more plane loads of surgical teams and supplies arrived on Monday.
@Concern (changed from @ConcernWorld): Water distributions (for 50,000 people), clean-up campaign (a cash-for-work program), soap distribution (15,000 people), temporary latrines (15,000 people), and shelter (tents and plastic sheeting for around 25,000 people)
We are continuing to look at aid in three stages: 1) save the living, bury the dead, 2) short term and intermediate humanitarian aid & relief, and 3) reconstruction, rebuilding and growth.
