i heard on radio where aids and NGO hiding in airport

the aids and their so call saviour are hiding in the airport and refuses to come out to give out aids.

the ngo refused to go without arm escorts, the UN not willing to go because there are area of no go zone before earthquake and they are not going.

US army agreement with UN troops that they deal with logistics, UN troops have to keep the NGO safe.

basically haitian are doom to die because they have bad reputation in the eyes of UN and NGO.

Haiti Earthquake: Port-au-Prince Under Curfew As Violence Grows
by Yuliya Talmazan
January 18, 2010 at 11:07 am

For the first time since the devastating earthquake hit Haiti last Tuesday, a curfew has been imposed in Haiti capital Port-au-Prince. The curfew initiated by Haiti police and the UN mission in Haiti went into effect on Sunday, January 17, at 6 PM local time. The escalating levels of violence in Haiti's capital have prompted such a drastic measure. Widespread looting and armed gangs roaming the capital have been recognized as a threat to public safety, as Haitians are trying to come to terms with the deadly disaster that has reportedly claimed the lives of over 50,000 people by the least of estimates.

The conditions of the curfew demand that no vehicles aside from police and military be on the streets. Nobody is supposed to be out on the streets except police and military officers. No helicopter flights were allowed in the skies above Port-au-Prince airport starting at 6:22 PM.

The question remains -- with so many people out in the streets with no place to call home, do authorities really expect people to stay off the streets during curfew hours?
