The immediate crisis is the lack of fuel. No gasoline or diesel can be found for purchase. Some say there's no more and others say there is but that the gas stations will remain closed as long as the banks are closed. This is very bad news. No gas/diesel translates into no electricity from EdH. No fuel means no generators to run pumps for water. No fuel equals no transportation.
Food prices have skyrocketed as we expected. Rice is 50% more expensive now than last week. The last time this happened we had riots.
Have heard nothing from the UN about supplies coming in from Port-au-Prince. Maybe tomorrow! Keep us in your prayers.
I am praying for you, watch the situation, God is with you in this bad time, I feel it, do not loose hope. God´s angels will be with you!! Bless you all! Stephanie, Czech Republic
ReplyDeleteWhen you have electricity for Internet contact, here is a UN web site with info on their logistical support, and contact info for their people on the ground.

Dear Fr. Marc I have put a link to you on my blogsite. ( Blue Eyed Ennis). I live in Cornwall UK. There is also some info on my blog on an organisation called ShelterBox (their headquarters are here in Cornwall). I am not sure if they will be of any help re the elctricity but they do provide shelter and I know their people are on the ground there.
ReplyDeleteYou are constantly in our thoughts and prayers here and I am just hoping that you get the help and support you need asap. Godbless and Love
