PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI -- International relief organizations backed by
American soldiers delivered hundreds of tons of rice to homeless residents
of the Haitian capital Sunday, laboring to ease a food shortage that has
left countless thousands struggling to find enough to eat.
But even as food-aid workers enjoyed their most successful day since the
Jan. 12 earthquake, the increasingly prominent role of U.S. troops and
civilians in the capital is creating high expectations that the Obama
administration is struggling to contain.
The needs are extraordinary, and the common refrain is that the Americans
will provide.
"I want the Americans to take over the country. The Haitian government
can't do anything for us," said Jean-Louis Geffrard, a laborer who lives
under a tarp in the crowded square. "When we tell the government we're
hungry, the government says, 'We're hungry, too.' "
Added Canga Matthieu, a medical student whose school was destroyed: "The
American government should take care of us."
"They're well organized. The United States is the richest country in the
world, and they can help."
But help has its limits, U.S. officials emphasize in their public
statements and in their interactions with Haitians. "You will have a
friend and partner in the United States of America today and going
forward," President Obama said the day after the earthquake. But U.S.
officials here make it clear that the American government is not
responsible for rebuilding the ravaged country.
"The military forces . . . are not here to do any reconstruction. That is
not our mission," said Col. Rick Kaiser, a U.S. Army engineer overseeing
emergency repairs to the Port-au-Prince docks, the electrical and water
systems, and other battered infrastructure in the hemisphere's poorest
country.
