1/29/10 UPDATE: The AFH team has arrived in Ti Guave. Ti Guave is a town of around 50,000 people near the epicenter of the earthquake. It is far enough south
that much of the aid that has reached Port au Prince has not made its way here as of yet. Initial reports from the team state that the situation there is very urgent. We are working at the home base of the National Wesleyan Mission which has been converted into a field hospital by the marines and a small contingent of doctors. This group of doctors plans to leave tomorrow. This will leave much of the care of the city to our medical team who have been badly strained by the need already.
Working with this mission we are developing a plan to have the hospital staffed to help the city for the next 2-3 months. At last count there was over 300 patients injured and waiting for care, multiple sick newborns and two women in active labor. We have a critical need for more physicians and nurses to staff this hospital for the next few months. Please forward this email to anyone that may be able to help. Praise should be given for the marines that are ensuring security at the hospital, we hope that hey stay for the long term. Our team is in Urgent need of further prayer and support.
Thank you for your support of this ministry. Please forward this to anyone else who would be interested. Sign up for email updates at www.aidforhaiti.org
