Red Cross trucks ‘huge’ medical convoy to Haiti

The Red Cross, with all their experience, know better than the U.S. government and UN, on how to deal with disasters. It just doesn't seem that enough is being done. There needs to be greater coordination and clear chain of command. This should be treated like a war. With time running out, that has to be greater efficiency in helping the people of Haiti.

in reference to:

"Up to 10 trucks carrying a "huge amount" of aid headed Saturday from the Dominican Republic to quake-struck Haiti, bringing a 50-bed field hospital, surgical teams and an emergency telecommunications unit, the Red Cross said.The convoy, including contingents from the Norwegian, Finnish, Spanish, Danish and Japanese Red Cross, hopes to arrive in Port-au-Prince in the afternoon, barring any problems, spokesman Paul Conneally said.The shipments were put on trucks for the overland trip because "it's not possible to fly anything into Port-au-Prince right now," he told The Associated Press by phone from the Dominican capital of Santo Domingo. "The airport is completely congested.""
