Food Distributions
I am seeing better health in the kids that daily receive the hot meals through Lifeline,
but there is no shortage of people coming to clinic who are in desperate need.
We continue to see many malnourished elderly, women, children and infants.
One of the main causes is not the shortage of food available in the Haitian
marketplaces, but the shortage of money to buy this food. Just last week when
we held OB clinic nearly all the women had low hemoglobin and required iron along
with their vitamins. At least 10 of the 60 women should have had blood transfusions!
