Haiti Earthquake Update

Effects of Haiti earthquakeJust talked to Miguel again. He and Ronnie will be crossing into Haiti around 8am tomorrow and will head for the town of Croix des Boquets which is East of Port Au Prince. 

 
More and more people continue to arrive in Jimani (a Dominican border town about 40 or so miles from the capital of Haiti) where he is now. Buses of people are arriving, and the hospital is overflowing.
 
Many of the injuries are devastating and surgeries are being put on hold because of equipment problems. Medical supplies and personel continue to be a huge need all throughout Haiti and now in the Dominican border hospitals as well. 
 
Miguel was able to buy a bunch of food and one of the local churches cooked a meal for 250 people at the hospital including all the patients as well as the doctors who had not eaten all day. They are looking to cook 800-900 meals tomorrow. Thank you all who are donating money! 
 
I’ll continue to update as more information comes in. Hopefully more aid will be arriving to Jimani soon. The European Union arrived today and Miguel spotted a Red Cross truck East of the town.Tomorrow afternoon/evening I should have some news from inside of Haiti. Thanks everyone. Please pray for Ronnie and Miguel and their trip into Haiti.
 
Until tomorrow…
