A massive international aid effort is gathering momentum in Haiti in the
aftermath of a deadly earthquake, but a bulk of the survivors are still
going without food, medicine and proper shelter nearly a week after the
disaster struck.
Two-thousand US Marines were due to arrive in the Haitian capital,
Port-au-Prince on Monday, to bolster the 1,000-strong US force already in
place as part of an international relief and security effort.
The race to deliver aid comes amid growing desperation among hapless
victims of last Tuesday's 7.0 magnitude earthquake.
Aid supplies were just starting to reach those most in need due to a
bottleneck at the capital's small airport - the main entry point for
assistance pledged by world leaders after the disaster.
Al Jazeera's Rob Reynolds, reporting from the Haitian capital, said the
much criticised bottleneck had started to improve by Monday.
Critical fuel shortage
But he said a shortage of fuel continued to hamper efforts to deliver the
aid.
"Fuel is running very short here, at the gas stations there is nothing.
Haitians sometimes are lining up at the gas stations just on the hope that
something will appear," he said.
"The UN is bringing in 37,000 litres of fuel from the Dominican Republic,
but the roads between Santo Domingo and Port-au-Prince are now so crammed
with vehicles that it is taking about 18 hours to get in, if not more."
Al Jazeera's Teresa Bo, also reporting from Port-au-Prince, said quake
survivors in the capital were growing increasingly frustrated over what
appeared to be the mismanagement or miscommunication that was holding up
the aid.
In the absence of large scale foreign help, Haitians were trying to help
each other, she said, with some turning homes into hospitals to treat the
wounded and others giving away food.
