Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has posted a new slideshow of images from their relief efforts in Haiti. Having worked in the poorest districts of Haiti for the past 19 years, they’re a well known entity within the country. People flocked to their hospitals, many of which as you’ll see by the photos, were badly damaged in the earthquake. However they were able to salvage some supplies and begin immediate emergency treatment in makeshift tents. According this post from MSF, there’s been no letup in people who need medical treatment and MSF’s teams have been going non-stop since last week. They’ve just started a working hospital in Carrefour, but as expected people have been flooding in:
One of MSF’s operational coordinators in Port-au-Prince, Hans van Dillen, says there was an immediate reaction when people found out that we were starting medical activities in Carrefour. People began crowding around the entrance. Patients are being brought in by wheelbarrow and on others’ backs. There are other hospitals in the area but they are already overflowing with injured people and have limited numbers of Haitian staff or supplies.

With the flood of donations coming into MSF in the past week, they have enough money for their relief efforts in Haiti, but you can still donate to help their projects in other parts of the world here.
