Haiti Faces New Tropical Storm

HeadlineAug 04, 2011

Haiti is bracing for torrential rain with the arrival of Tropical Storm Emily. Weather experts have warned the storm could trigger dangerous floods and mudslides, threatening more displacement on top of the 600,000 earthquake survivors already living in makeshift camps. A foreign aid worker said relief efforts are in place nationwide.

Worker: “We’ve prepared. We’ve pre-positioned food in 35 areas all across Haiti. We’ve put food in place. We have trucks also that are in place. We have put food supplies there that are sufficient to provide food assistance to people, to Haitians, after a storm, for 517,000 Haitians, and we’re going to be able to help them for a total of 26 days.”
