SA NGO Delivers Aid to Haiti

South African charity, Gift of the Givers, has stepped up its drive to bring humanitarian aid directly to desperate, starving Haitians as red tape hampers international relief efforts.

The organisation’s Imtiaz Sooliman, points out that the charity is negotiating the passage of 100 tons of high-nutrition food parcels and medical supplies to be distributed independently.

The move could speed up delivery to areas poorly serviced by United Nations (UN)-led agencies.
"We want to save lives. We want to get food and medicine and the best doctors to the people who need it most," says Sooliman.
