Are the orphanages getting adequate protection from looters and other threats?
All assistance is being distributed through the United Sates, JTF Haiti, the UN, and other international organizations and NGOs. The personnel on the ground are working tirelessly to get the assistance out to the places that need it most. Addresses and locations of orphanages have been passed to relief workers on the ground. We are working to ensure that orphanages are among those institutions that receive regular security visits. Meanwhile, we will ask Southcom to check locations where U.S.-bound children are being cared for and report back on security concerns.
