This article tells about how American relief workers went to the airport to pick up several tons of donations, but when they got there they found that the whole system had came to a hault. A doctor that came to treat 300 patients a day for six days was still waiting after 3 days for the medicime to treat them. She screamed at customs, but customs woould not budge. There is now a new procedure for getting supplies into the country. Organizations now have to sign over the goods to the Hatian Department of Civil Protection which will review there request to get a tax exemption before realeasing the goods. People who brought in tents to get people out of the rain were told they would have to pay taxes on the tents that they were giving away to the Hati people.
This article just makes my statements more true about how we should be helping our own country not others.
Now I really feel sorry for the Hati people. There own country is taking away from them and benefiting off our hearts. I mean first we are willing to give money out of our own pockets while people in our own country are hurting and now they are going to PROFIT BIG time on it!! WTG USA!!!
