COUNTRIES: HAITI :
DISASTERS: EARTHQUAKES:
Haiti Earthquake: Anger Turns to Violence on the Streets
Haiti Earthquake: Anger Turns to Violence on the Streets
Anger turned to violence on the streets of Haiti as earthquake survivors
lost their patience with the painfully slow process of getting
international aid to those desperate for food, water and medical
treatment.

Although doctors, rescue teams and supplies had been flying into the
capital, Port au Prince, a series of bottlenecks meant aid was not getting
to those who needed it most.
The sound of gunfire echoed around Port au Prince as looters fought over
scarce food supplies, hijacked vehicles and raided a UN warehouse where
15,000 tons of food had been stockpiled.
Even the most stoic Haitians began to express frustration at the continued
lack of help on the fourth day of their ordeal, and in one part of the
capital corpses were piled up to build roadblocks in protest at the
delays.
David Wimhurst, spokesman for the Brazilian-run UN peacekeeping mission,
said: "They want us to provide them with help, which is, of course, what
we want to do. But they're slowly getting more angry and impatient."
Brazil's defence minister Nelson Jobim, who spent two days in Port au
Prince, said: "As long as the people are hungry and thirsty, as long as we
haven't fixed the problem of shelter, we run the risk of riots."
The problem has been worsened by the complete destruction of
Port-au-Prince's main prison, where almost all of the 4,000 inmates
survived the earthquake and are now roaming the streets.
Rescuers have been told to stop work when it gets dark because of fears
they will be attacked.
"Our biggest problem is security," said Delfin Antonio Rodriguez, rescue
commander for the Dominican Republic. "Yesterday they tried to hijack some
of our trucks. Today we were barely able to work in some places because of
that. There's looting and people with guns out there, because this country
is very poor and people are desperate."
Shaul Schwarz, a photographer for TIME magazine, said he saw at least two
roadblocks formed with bodies of earthquake victims and rocks.
"They are starting to block the roads with bodies," he said. "It's getting
ugly out there. People are fed up with getting no help."
