STRUGGLE TO DELIVER AID AS DEATH TOLL MOUNTS

RELIEF agencies are struggling to get life-saving aid to the survivors in Haiti because the roads are blocked, the port is destroyed and the airport is not equipped to handle the influx.

The death toll from Tuesday’s earthquake has already reached between 45,000-50,000 according to the Red Cross, but it is expected to rise much higher.

Experts are predicting the number will spiral in the coming days and weeks as the levels of infection and contamination caused by the unhygienic conditions escalates.
