First aid ship arrives in flooded Haitian city
The Associated Press
Friday, September 5, 2008

It's a desperate situation in Haiti after Tropical Storm Hanna, but
help has just arrived. A ship carrying more than 33 tons of food,
water and other relief supplies managed to dock in Gonaives.
UN peacekeepers worked through the night to repair a storm-damaged
dock in the flooded city, and now soldiers and dock workers are
offloading 15 metric tons of bottled water, 36,000 water-purification
tablets, 16 metric tons of high-energy biscuits and two metric tons
of rice, along with other supplies.
The goal is to distribute biscuits and water within hours in
emergency shelters where 40,000 people are staying.
Many residents of Gonaives began their fifth day without food or
water Friday after Hanna swamped Haiti's fourth-largest city.
