Lego Nations Immediate Relief Mission in Haiti(LNIRMH)
As of January 15, 2010 a relief mission in Haiti has officially been activated. The 7.0 earthquake that recently struck near the capital Port-au-Prince has done severe damage to the city. The UN and other foreign aid agencies are overwhelmed, and the defense council voted on Thursday to send aid as soon as possible to Haiti. LN aid workers and soldiers will stay only until the situation can be handled by the UN alone. Their mission is to:
- Rescue people stuck in rubble
- Clear roads of rubble to allow aid to be distributed
- Distribute food and water to the people
- Provide medical care for victims of the disaster
The airport near Port-au-Prince is currently as of January 15th not taking in aircraft, due to a shortage in jet fuel and troubles with air traffic control. Most roads in the country are blocked off or are in bad shape. The most effective way to get food into the country would be to assemble in the Dominican Republic, and then fix roads leading into Haiti to allow aid to be distributed in the countryside.
The Lego Nations do not nearly have enough food to feed every Haitian (4 million +) although we will try to provide aid to as many people as possible.
