Disaster on the ground: Frustration grows in Haiti as some communities wait weeks for aid and shelter

More than a month after the Haitian earthquake communities outside of Port Au Prince are only now receiving aid. And with heavy rains this week, shelter is more urgent than ever. One of those communities is in the Boutilier Mountain, south of Port Au Prince. The first delivery since the earthquake arrived today, and witnesses said an estimated 2,000 people gathered.

FSRN spoke with Glenna Stinson, with Trees for Life International, a group that focuses on community development in Haiti. She's been living and working in Haiti for 20 years. And has been in Boutilier Mountain since before the earthquake. She said that the trucks came with thirty armed guards. And she began by describing her repeated efforts to request aid from relief organizations over the past four weeks.
