Support for Haiti comes from Latin American, African, Caribbean nations

The US Coast Guard partially reopened the damaged seaport in Port Au Prince, Haiti today. And the US military is now operating four airports in the area: Port Au Prince and Jacmel in Haiti and San Isidro and Barahona in the Dominican Republic. Meanwhile, attention is turning to the 1.5 million people left homeless by last week's earthquake. The UN announced today that it will relocate survivors to temporary tented villages outside the capital. According to the UN International Organization for Migration, there are nearly 450 improvised settlements in Port Au Prince alone. Almost none have adequate water or sanitation facilities.

Much of the attention in Haiti has been focused on the US in the rescue and recovery efforts, but other countries - especially from Africa, the Carribbean and Latin America - have played important, life-saving roles. Often getting in early after the disaster with members who have had experience in Haiti. We're joined by Nicole Lee, president of TransAfrica Forum, an advocacy group based in Washington DC.
