ADDITIONAL INFO: About 1,100 people have registered on the site from Haiti to inform their loved ones that they are safe and well. What does the Red Cross expect to provide in terms of assistance within the next few days, weeks and months?
• Two planes carrying Red Cross humanitarian assistance are due to land this afternoon in Port-au-Prince, if they are not re-routed. The first one carries a field hospital and the second carries tarps, blankets, hygiene items, buckets, shelter supplies and kitchen sets. • Today, the American Red Cross is working with airport authorities to transport additional items from our global warehouse in Panama into Port-au-Prince. • Given the massive needs and the extent of the damage that we are seeing so far, we know this will take considerable resources to help the people of Haiti recover. It may be many weeks or even months to understand the full extent of the damage, and we expect the recovery will take years. • This is not unprecedented for the Red Cross. Five years after Indian Ocean tsunami, the Red Cross is still helping many communities restore what was lost.
