This is a difficult and sobering reality. Near riots and stronger survivors forcing their way to the food while weaker people get nothing. I'm tempted to judge the people who are fighting and scrambling over others to get anything they can, but the flip side of the equation is that I've never known desperation. At this point providing order and protecting the weakest of the many victims is our responsibility.
We are continuing to work with people and organizations in Haiti who already have organized people on the ground, specific populations of people to serve, and the means to provide some security and order. In particular, Brian Lloyd's Harvest Field Ministries is the focus of our food efforts, as his communities are very heavy with children and the elderly, who will need special protection from being trampled in the rush to survive. Our medical mission continues to focus on Jimani and on the effort to establish "forward area" clinics in PaP.
