After the quake, the epidemics and major disturbances have been avoided. This is due to the major influx of U.N troops and U.S troop that were placed on the ground to secure the land in the Haitian people. Also, health care for the country is better than before because of the influx of medical supply’s that came in from countries all over the world. Also the Red Cross donated temporary shelters to the people, who lost their homes during the quake, which many people consider a blessing. The troops that came from all over the world have helped many injured Haitians and are doing in outstanding job caring for the sick in feeding them as well. Even through many Haitian lost their homes during the quake, they didn’t lose hope.
President Obama also did his share on helping out the American Red Cross with rising money for the devastated country, by setting up a textiphone for the survivors of the earthquake, where people all over the donated money to the red cross-which raised over one million dollars within the first 24 hours. The money raised for the Red Cross is going to be distributed in many sectors such as, food, water, shelter, and medical supplies.
Thousands of troops were put to place to help protect the huge relief operation in Haiti from marauding looters as tens of thousands of earthquake survivors waited desperately for promised food and medical care. Gangs of looters still prowled demolished streets of downtown Port-au-Prince filching goods from destroyed shops with little police presence, but some signs of normality returned as street sellers emerged with fruit and vegetables.
The people of Haiti thank God for all of His Blessings that He had provided for them in this time of tragedy!
