“It’s worse than a war zone”
CBC's Matt Galloway interviews Inside Disaster director Nadine Pequeneza from Haiti.
The Documentary
Inside Disaster follows the disaster relief teams of the Red Cross as they mount the largest single-country response in their history.
En route à Haïti avec le Croix-Rouge
La frontière est très achalandée. D’un côté l’aide humanitaires, les ambulances et les camions tentent de faire leur chemin. De l’autre, les victimes du séisme tentent de faire le saut en République Dominicaine. Les Haïtiens on besoin d’un visa et l’armée dominicaine n’en donne que très peu.
Into Haiti with the Red Cross
The border is quite a busy place, on one side aid workers, ambulances and trucks are trying to get in, on the other, victims are trying to get into Dominican Republic.
Haiti: Red Cross releases assessment
The Red Cross Red Crescent has pre-positioned relief supplies for 3,000 families in Haiti. These emergency supplies consist of kitchen kits, personal hygiene kits, blankets and containers for storing drinking water.
UPDATED: Travel Update from the Crew
Nadine, Nico and the crew left Santo Domingo at 4am this morning with the Red Cross motor convoy. They are nearing the Haitian border now and pushing to arrive in-country before sundown.
En route to Santo Domingo
From Santo Domingo we’ll find a way to cross over to Haiti. Nadine and the crew will start filming with the Red Cross there, and I’ll try to reach Port au Prince by going on a Canadian Army plane.
Getting into Haiti
We’re now in the Boston airport en route to Santo Domingo in the DR. The IFRC has five FACT team members descending on the DR from Canada, Panama, and Europe.
Quake rocks Haiti; Inside Disaster crew on standby
The Inside Disaster documentary and web crew are preparing for a possible deployment for Haiti as news breaks of a 7.3 magnitude earthquake in the region.
What is the FACT Team?
It’s the most important job you’ve never heard of. The Red Cross FACT team arrives in-country during the emergency phase of a response operation.
