Get updates from MSF on the Haiti disaster

From www.msf.ie, the latest update on doctors working in Haiti:
“On the fifth day on their response to the disaster in Haiti, the MSF teams remain focused on trying to cope with the huge demand for life-saving surgery from those who suffered terrible injuries in the quake. They are doing that by stretching their existing resources, running operating theatres to the limit by working around the clock, while at the same time trying to create more capacity by finding new premises and transporting in mobile structures.
“In the newly working hospital in the Carrefour district, the MSF surgical team carried out 90 operations within 24 hours of getting the theatre usable. And that was only two hours after they found the hospital. The surgical team at Choscal hospital also completed around 90 operations so far. Another team is working from a container and carried out twenty. More capacity is on its way, but the twin theatre inflatable hospital has been delayed because one of the planes it was on did not get permission to land at Port au Prince airport and was re-routed to the Dominican Republic. The other half of the hospital did arrive today but MSF is still concerned that vital supplies are being held up.”
