Haiti Headlines

Have you noticed that you don’t hear much about Haiti in the news anymore? Looking at the BBC’s website today, top headlines today are covering the continuing war in Iraq, Lindsay Lohan’s 90 day jail sentence, and news on the World Cup, among other things… but nothing about Haiti. Even on the “Americas” page, still nothing about Haiti. The world’s attention has moved on to other things.



But the situation in Haiti remains desperate for many people, and the need for the flight services that Mission Aviation Fellowship offers has not decreased. A specific search for “Haiti” on Google’s News page reveals the following headlines:



- Red Cross Still in Emergency Mode in Haiti

- Haitian Orphans Have Little But Each Other

- Haitian Moms Still Need Healthcare



While the world’s attention may have moved on, MAF pilots continue to transport relief supplies, medical groups, and construction supplies, helping to address both the short and long term needs of Haitians. We are excited to be part of an organization that has been in Haiti for so long, that responded so quickly and efficiently to the earthquake, and that intends to stay in Haiti for the long term!
