The foreign military presence continues to rise in Haiti. On Tuesday, hundreds of new US troops arrived in Port-au-Prince, bringing the total US contingent to upwards of 11,000. On Tuesday, desperately needed aid began reaching residents of Léogâne, the epicenter of last week’s earthquake. Earthquake survivors flocked around marines handing out supplies from a helicopter.

Staff Sgt. Causeley Barthold: “We’re trying to help these people out, as far as food and water and all supply that they — medical supply that they need. They’re all complaining that, you know, all their houses — they’re right now living out on the street. They’ve got no water, no food.”
