Each ration can feed a person for five days. "Thousands of people remain in makeshift camps where the food and sanitation situation is precarious," said Richard Jaqua, a staff member who is helping to coordinate the logistics for ADRA's emergency response. He reported that the distribution of food is crucial as supplies in the capital's stores and marketplaces have become limited and extremely expensive. ADRA also continues to provide urgent water supplies and medical care to approximately 25,000 internally displaced people who have sought refuge at the grounds of the Haiti Adventist University and the Adventist Hospital of Haiti. ADRA, in partnership with Global Medic, has already established several clean water access points at the site, with plans to install 20 more. ADRA also expects to distribute more water supplies provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), with thousands already receiving water purification tablets. To improve sanitation at the site, ADRA is constructing 60 latrines. In addition, ADRA will distribute a shipment of 450kgs of medical supplies received from International Aid and medical supplies worth $15,000 donated by Heart to Heart International. ADRA has already distributed approximately 30 boxes of medical supplies at the hospital and continues to provide medical assistance to the injured. To implement these initial response activities, ADRA is also partnering with Food for the Poor, which is assisting in the distribution of medical and food supplies; Johanniter International, a non-profit association that is providing medical supplies for hospital staff; GARSA, a Colombian rescue and relief group in partnership with ADRA Colombia; International Relief and Development (IRD); and donors in Puerto Rico. The worldwide ADRA network urgently needs US$1 million to help communities rebuild in the long-term. ADRA Australia has opened a Haiti Earthquake Appeal and is calling for support for the response efforts in the region. Donations can be made to ADRA Australia by calling 1800 242 372 or visiting www.adra.org.au. Donations to ADRA Australia's Haiti Earthquake Appeal will be used to support the disaster, recovery and reconstruction efforts in the area. If the appeal raises more funds than are needed, donations will be allocated to ADRA Australia's ongoing emergency management activities. International ADRA network partners currently supporting the response efforts include ADRA International, ADRA Australia, ADRA New Zealand, ADRA Czech Republic, ADRA United Kingdom, ADRA China, ADRA Denmark, ADRA Switzerland, ADRA Norway, ADRA Canada, ADRA Ireland, ADRA Portugal, ADRA Sweden, ADRA Netherlands, ADRA Austria, and ADRA Japan.

According to ADRA staff coordinating the agency’s response in the Haitian capital, medical facilities are still in need of medical supplies, specifically surgical tools, such as sterilization equipment, bone saws, and disposable medical supplies that include gloves, bandages, and masks. “In the last several days the facilities have been overwhelmed by the sheer number of injured survivors,” said an ADRA staff member in Haiti. On Tuesday, January 19, ADRA conducted a medical supply assessment of the 71-bed Adventist Hospital of Haiti located in the Carrefour neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, and sent a request to Orlando-based Florida Hospital for a shipment to replenish critically low supplies. “Florida Hospital was devastated to hear of the earthquake in Haiti and horrified to see the images that came out of that country,” said Lars Houmann, Florida Hospital president and chief executive officer. “As is our nature as caregivers, many in our organization were eager to spring into action.” In less than two days, Florida Hospital, working with ADRA, airlifted $71,000 worth of medical supplies aboard a chartered Boeing 727 aircraft that landed in Port-au-Prince Thursday morning, January 21. The supplies, which will be delivered in the next two days with the support of U.N. personnel, include 23 palettes containing 10,000 bags of IV solution, IV lines, antibiotics, analgesics, masks, gloves, surgical instruments, orthopedic surgical supplies, bandages, soap, personal hygiene items, and other supplies. This donation will support the Adventist Hospital of Haiti where thousands of people have flocked for treatment since the disaster. These medical supplies could not have come at a more crucial time,” said John Torres, who has been working as the liaison between the Adventist Hospital of Haiti and ADRA’s emergency response team in Port-au-Prince. “Medical supplies are being used as quickly as they arrive.” Gustavo Vilorio, a Mexican surgeon who has been performing more than 20 surgeries a day since he arrived in Port-au-Prince last Monday, also added that the supplies provided by Florida Hospital will satisfy some of the “most pressing” surgical needs of the affected population. Florida Hospital, which operates a group of private hospitals in central Florida and is nationally recognized for its institutes of cancer, cardiology, diabetes, orthopedics, and neuroscience, will be working with ADRA to facilitate further shipments of supplies to Haiti. Thursday’s airlift also carried 40 pallets donated by Harvest Time International, based in Sanford, Florida, aid that included tarps, heavy plastic sheeting, water, hygiene items, generators, baby and medical supplies. ADRA is also partnering with Florida Emergency Physicians, an independently owned group that provides emergency medical care for patients of Florida Hospital in the Greater Orlando area, who contributed $25,000 to support ADRA’s ongoing response efforts in Haiti. “We are thankful for the great support of Florida Hospital, Harvest Time International and Florida Emergency Physicians as we continue our relief efforts in Haiti,” said Charles Sandefur, president of ADRA International who arrived in Port-au-Prince this week. “We look forward to continuing these partnerships, as they are a critical part of our work to provide hope and healing to thousands of people in Haiti who have been touched by this disaster.” ===================================================== ADRA Feeds Thousands in Haiti Source: Adventist Development and Relief Agency International (ADRA) Date: 21 Jan 2010 Wahroonga, New South Wales — The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) distributed nearly 13,000 rations of high-energy nutritional biscuits donated by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in several sites in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on January 18.
