Airlines organizing Haiti Earthquake Aid

People stuck under peices of rubble, people with homes that have been torn down, people with no food or water what so ever. The Airlines are trying to make a difference after the magnitude 7.0 earthquake in Haiti. They are currently organizing and planning for relief planes to be sent. They are sending three more both releif planes Thursday and Friday. The Haitian government is currently not accepting any incoming flights due to the lack of fuel and ramp space. Yesterday there were 3 planes carrying over 30,000 pounds of relief supplies, including food, water and other non perishable goods. The airlines are currently not letting any flights come into Haiti. 

I think this is great that the Airlines are sending help to Haiti. Right now, Haiti needs all the help they can possibly get. Haitis death tolls are increasing by the minute and we need to get there as fast as we can to provide food and water for those who need it. With a predicted over 100,000 deaths we cant wait and we have to send relief to Haiti as soon as possible.
