Aid Reaches More Survivors

Improved logistics are allowing relief teams to deliver aid to an increasing number of victims in Port-Au-Prince and other areas of Haiti affected by the deadly earthquake. Given the time that has passed since the quake, disaster teams are switching their focus from search and rescue operations to relocation for the survivors. As many as 700,000 people are homeless, and hundreds of thousands are to be moved into tent cities, the Miami Herald reports.

Now that the seaport in Port-Au-Prince has partially reopened, the US military is using it in addition to newly operational airfields in Haiti and the Dominican Republic to distribute supplies. In Port-Au-Prince, some shops have reopened, and banks were open for the first time since the disaster today—though service was an issue. "I have children, they have to eat," said one mother of three who had waited 6 hours on line to gain access to her account. (More Haiti stories.)
