United Nations peacekeepers warned yesterday that Haitis capital could quickly
descend into rioting if three million hungry, thirsty and traumatised
earthquake survivors dont receive emergency aid soon. The warning came as
relief agencies battled to deliver tonnes of material to Haitis capital despite
blocked roads, a clogged airport and shattered ports.
Looters have emptied food shops and scuffles have broken out among survivors
fighting over scarce water as the wait for help drags on. Brazils Defence
Minister, Nelson Jobim, warned that the Brazilian-led peacekeeping force could
struggle if desperation spilled into violence. We are worried about security,
he said.
As long as the people are hungry and thirsty, as long as we havent fixed the
problem of shelter, we run the risk of riots. As the UN launched a flash appeal
for $560 million (350 million), President Obama warned of difficult days ahead
overcoming the logistical challenge of reaching the needy.

Logistics are extremely difficult. The airport is open, but capacity is
limited. A lack of transport and fuel is also hampering efforts. Many roads
remain blocked, Mr Ban said.

As the 96-hour mark since the quake loomed, the UN called on countries to stop
sending rescuers, a grim acknowledgement of the diminishing hope of finding
survivors.
The focus will now switch to getting in emergency supplies to keep those who
have already been rescued alive.
We dont need more disaster search-and-rescue teams, said Elisabeth Byrs, the
UNs humanitarian spokeswoman said. That would only clog the airport.
