82 tonnes packed onto eight trucks. This is the amount of additional relief being sent to Haiti from the Unicef warehouse HQ in the Copenhagen Freeport over the next couple of days - expected to reach Haiti Wednesday via flight today from Amsterdam to The Dominican Republic. Wooden boxes with tents, from one huge tent HQ of 240 square metres, to several other medical station tents of 72 square metres.
Most of the boxes contain jerry cans for water storage for hospitals and other relief facilities, family water kits - containing plastic buckets, ten litre jerry cans for water storage, and packages with water purifications tablets. Along with oral rehydration powder and RUTF/ready to use therapeutic foods with nut paste and nutritiants.Another flight of relief is on the way. The help is on the move. With the unsettled situation in Haiti, the paradox seems to be how to get the relief all the way across to those who need it most.
