JAN 22: US MEDICAL TEAMS RESPOND

Several nights ago Anderson Cooper looked into the camera on CNN and said doctors and nurses could help Haiti by getting on a plane with medical supplies and flying to DR to make the trip into Haiti's hardest hit areas. That should give an indication of how completely broken down the relief effort has been during these critical days. The anchor of a news show has to appeal for help based on what he has seen and heard from the medical teams on the ground, the ones that are trying their best with little support from any of the government led relief efforts.

Local newspapers are following the action of doctors and nurses who have been organizing and mobilizing themselves to get on the ground to help.
