Red Cross: 3M Haitians Affected by Quake

There will be a flood of Haitians trying to get into the U.S. Will they be turned away? Will the media ignore their plight after a few days, as they have for so many years.

in reference to:

"The International Federation of the Red Cross estimates that up to 3 million people have been affected by a powerful earthquake that caused massive destruction in the Haitian capital. Spokesman Paul Conneally says the fact that the quake occurred very close to Port-au-Prince was "not a good indicator" He says Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the northern hemisphere and is ill-prepared to handle a major disaster Conneally told The Associated Press on Wednesday that it would take 24-48 hours before a clear picture emerges of the scale of the destruction. It was still too early to estimate the overall toll in human lives from the massive quake, but an official Chinese newspaper said Wednesday that eight Chinese peacekeepers were killed and that 10 others were missing. The China Daily newspaper reported online Wednesday that the dead were buried under the rubble. The report cited Liu Xiangyang, the vice-president of the China National Earthquake Disaster Emergency Rescue Team. International aid groups including the Red Cross were gearing up for a major relief effort in Haiti focused on rescuing survivors and setting up field hospitals for the wounded."
