The Clinton Foundation Trucks

They are big and yellow and covered with Penske stickers. The 20 International Durastar 4300 series trucks donated by the Clinton Foundation rest between runs in a massive warehouse complex not far from where I sit in Log Base. However, they stay idle only for a few minutes before they are tasked again and loaded with tents, latrines, rice and beans.

WFP Shipping Brings Life To Haiti's Once Devastated Port-Au-Prince Port

WFP Shipping has worked tirelessly to help bring Haiti's ports back online. Port-au-Prince port, where 90% of all seaborne container traffic arrives in Haiti, is once again running smoothly thanks to the efforts of the team. WFP has now also successfully docked the first passenger vessels in 35 years at the port's South Pier. The Sea Voyager and Ola Esmeralda, both WFP chartered vessels, arrived yesterday at the south pier.

WFP Rice Discharge Underway In Cap Haitien, Haiti

On March 4th, the barge Connor with the tug Miss Cloe, both US flag, arrived in Cap Haitien in the northern most part of Haiti. Loaded with 6,993 metric tonnes of rice, the vessel began unloading a few days later after a rain delay.

For the duration of the discharge, WFP Port Captain Piotr Drozdowski has supervised the process. He has been sending us regular updates and keeping us informed of the progress.

A standard dispatch from the field reads as follows:

WFP And British Royal Navy Working To Feed The People Of Haiti
