This is Louis Belanger, Oxfam spokesperson, reporting in Port-au-Prince. I arrived an hour ago in Port-au-Prince from the border in Dominican Republic. I'm now in a temporary storage location very close to the airport where there's various defence and civil guards from different countries that have arrived with rescue teams, medicines... So they're from France, Panama, Dominican Republic and various countries that have come to help Haiti. I'm with 4 experts of Oxfam, humanitarian experts, that will improve our water distribution and that will (continue?) our assessments in the city. Now, for us today, water distribution is continuing at 2 main locations, and hopefully we can open a third one. One is in a golf course that has now become a massive makeshift camp for over 10,000 people. It's close to one of the best known neighbourhoods of the city. There's more to come as well from Oxfam. So we had a flight landing last night and now there's just the logistical issue to be resolved where we can either ship it to Port-au-Prince at the airport, but there's a bottleneck there, there seems to be some problems to easily ship it to the city. So we're looking into other shipping from, part of it anyway, from land, from Dominican Republic all the way to Port-au-Prince. So we're sorting that out right now. Reports that I've had from colleagues now is that fuel is becoming an issue - there's a lack of fuel, and in the next two or three days that's going to have to be sorted out pretty quickly. Transport is improving - there's more trucking that is being done in terms of delivering aid, so that's good news. And the rescue effort as well, is continuing. I think there's been reports in the press, and elsewhere, especially among the rescue teams last night where we were in the camp on the border, were talking that they were successful in rescuing 2 people. So they were, you know, spirits were high, and they came back today in the hope of finding more people that are stuck under the rubble. In terms of some of the neighbourhoods that have not been looked at, the rescue people are looking into this, and Oxfam will also be thinking about moving in in terms of water distribution. The epicentre of the earthquake, a city called Leogane, which is just out west of Port-au-Prince, shall be where it was the worst. It was southwest of Port-au-Prince in the neighbourhood called Carrefour, and in Leogane which is a small city which is very difficult to access right now, so that's our main problem. And apparently every single house almost had been flattened, or building had been flattened, so that's worrying. I was in Haiti 15 years ago. It's my first day back today. I'm happy to be back, but these circumstances, I wish they could be better. But you know, I'm here to do what I can. And I remember though actually, to the epicentre of the earthquake, to Leogane, on a good day it was difficult to get there, so just imagine how hard it is to reach that city right now. But you know, rescue teams were splitting up here and some were going you know to the actual location of the earthquake so, you know, the co-ordination is improving amongst ourselves and I can see there's a lot of activity, a lot of aid is coming through. So hopefully we're going to be able to close the weekend with a big improvement and look to the week to continue the aid effort. So that's my part for today, Sunday, and we'll speak soon. Cheers, bye.
