Mehmet Rıdvan Üstünel, a physician in the IHH group, noted they had not observed any significant progress a month since the earthquake. He said he was treating 100 patients on average in a day and the number was rising every day. “Although it has been a month since the quake happened, the situation is getting worse every day. The number of patients is rising. It has become increasingly hard to get basic necessities. There are serious problems about foodstuff, beverages and sheltering.

Haitian people urgently need foodstuff and medication,” he added.
