Oh my god.
Careful sliding.
Yeah, we will get you from there. Just
take it easy. We'll be here for your
bike. Welcome
[Music]
to It is difficult to fathom what has
become of
Haiti and of the United Nations in this
country.
For the United Nations, this tragic
event was the worst in its history.
We have 43 international urban search
and rescue teams and these teams are
from 23 countries.
If you need help, I need you to tell me
as soon as possible and we'll send you
somebody. We're We've got a team of six
and a dog ready to be deployed. We're
gonna give you another sun.
We're gonna try to feed her an IV tube
so she can drink from the IV tube.
I was out today with the president of
Haiti and we discussed the search and
rescue phase and how long we want to
continue and his words were we need to
continue as long as the population
thinks there's hope.
[Music]
Mommy, I'm okay. You see me? My mom.
That's me.
Shocking sight to see the presidential
palace build up like that. Well, these
people here, you know, very calm, very
rational, but they're desperate for
help. They want to see the results soon,
and we understand that. An urgent relief
effort to help the people of Haiti
affected by this appalling
tragedy. Uh, today the humanitarian work
is moving on. Uh, today the UN launched
an appeal for half a billion dollars for
the relief work in the coming 6 months.
Please remember the coordination's done
there at the cluster meetings is just
sending information on what you have
done. The most important information.
[Music]
All of the staff who were formerly
working in the headquarters that this
was destroyed have moved here. So, we're
living and working in offices. We taken
over offices belonging to colleagues.
We're now very crowded. Uh, sleeping on
the floor, sleeping on the grass outside
at night, eating ration packs. Under the
circumstances, the best has been done,
the best we can.
The surf has become an extremely useful
tool for agencies such as our own. Uh
we've received over 5 million very
quickly for our response here in Haiti.
It allows us to buy food quickly uh to
decide where we want to buy that food to
try and get it as close uh to the place
where it's needed here in Haiti as
possible. It's become such a valuable
tool uh in terms of assisting our our
quick response to sudden onset
emergencies, but also uh for the quiet
emergencies that perhaps the rest of the
world is not so aware of.
We got uh $1.1 million from the surf.
That is the funding that lets us start
the operation and and get the products
that are needed to make sure that we get
those vital relief supplies to people
when they need them the most.
We lack uh supplies, medication, and
equipment. But at day five, we had a lot
of supplies. We continue to receive as
we ask.
We're doing everything we can. And when
I say we, I mean the United Nations
large, the United Nations family in in
Haiti, plus the assistance from the
international community and the donors
to doing everything we can to get the um
aid to those who need it most as quickly
as possible.
Haiti needs so much assistance right
now. If if there's any time, this is the
time that Haiti needs
help and needs specialized help. Right
now my my job is to to be here and work
here.
