Monday, 07 June 2004 |
|
New Canaan, CT - On June 6, 2004 the Bridge Foundation airlifted urgently needed disaster relief supplies to flood victims in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The airlift contained nearly 55,000 pounds of beans, rice, cooking oil, infant formula and nutritional supplements. The flight landed in Santo Domingo and continued onto Port-au-Prince.
Severe flooding has taken more than 3,300 lives with the number sure to rise as many areas remain inaccessible due to landslides. The flooding will continue to plague recovery efforts as recently sown crops have been washed away in many areas. Many rural villages have yet to receive supplies. Helicopter transport remains the only means of delivering supplies to some remote areas. Thousands of families remain in desperate need of food, shelter, potable water and basic medical needs.
