FALLS CHURCH, Va. (ABP) -- A Baptist rescue team in Haiti described the
situation there as still desperate -- more than two weeks after a
massive earthquake devastated much of the impoverished nation Jan. 12.
Bela Szilagyi, director of Hungarian Baptist Aid and a leader of a
Baptist World Aid Rescue24 team that arrived three days after the
quake, told
Baptist World Alliance officials Jan. 26 that thousands of people are
fleeing Port-au-Prince. The hard-hit capital city -- near the quake's
epicenter -- is plagued by food and water shortages and long lines at
gas stations where fuel has quadrupled in price.
