Assessing for Action in Haiti

Port au Prince, Haiti. January 2010: The situation in Haiti continues to be difficult as the first response teams are starting to make slow progress. Currently on location, a Mercy Ships Assessment Team is working with our partners and providing information for mobilisation of our Disaster Response Teams. This is a very dangerous time in Haiti and your prayers are needed as we ask God to keep all of these people safe.

“The situation in Haiti is significant and it would not surprise me … if we send over 100 (teams) in the months and years to come,” comments Sam Smith, CEO of Mercy Ships. Following the assessment of the team on ground, both medical and non-medical personnel will be mobilised to work side by side with our partners to address the suffering of survivors.“Once the time for this Team has concluded,” Smith says, Mercy Ships partners “will be able to continue the program long after we have departed.” As he puts it, “we are executing hope and healing, but we also are building capacity.”
