Samaritan’s Purse teams are continuing to provide food, shelter, medical aid and other assistance for earthquake survivors in Haiti. Our efforts-to-date include:

• The medical team working in the clinic in Cite Soleil is seeing more than 100 patients daily. They are performing immunizations and treating the sick and injured.

• We have provided food and other necessities to 81 orphanages and other institutions. The team is currently assessing 78 requests for assistance.

• Last week, the team distributed 583 tons of food to 23,322 families/139,932 individuals in Cite Soleil. We have distributed some 837 tons of food to 35,163 households/201,018 people. We will continue this program through Saturday. Our team has been able to distribute more food than any of the other areas participating in the World Food Program surge. Each morning, the team begins the distribution at 6:30. In about two hours, they have been able to provide food for more than 3,000 people to bring home for their families.

• Approximately 100 rolls of plastic (20’x100’) have been distributed to churches to shelter worship services.

• As of Monday, we had distributed 12,040 heavy-duty plastic tarps (20’x20’) – 4,250 in Leogane and the surrounding area and 7,790 in and around Port-au-Prince.

• Last week, our team removed 820 tons of rubble from a church in Grand Goave in partnership with the U.S. Navy.

• As of Monday, we had installed 25 latrine banks (100 stalls). Two days of hygiene education were conducted at camps where our latrines have been installed.

• Since the earthquake, our medical personnel at Baptist Haiti Mission have helped perform some 250 surgeries and hundreds of castings and repairs. They have seen more than 4,000 people.
