Weeks after the earthquake that trembled Haiti, military and civilian physicians from Canada flew to the country for help. A mobile medical team was also sent by Canada's Disaster Assistance Response Team sent into the field on Sunday.

After spending 11 days in Haiti, Robert Yelle, An Ottawa physician told CTV Ottawa, "In terms of health, access to the help is needed. What's happening is that supplies aren't necessarily delivered in the ratio of what's needed there".

In order to do away with stealing and threats from gang-members, it was decided that only women will be able to get food from distribution sites. UN officials said that they estimated that there is a need for Food-aid despite the measures being taken so far.

Associated press reported that along with the shortage of clean water and food, sanitation is also a growing problem in quake-stricken Haiti. Water is being recycled several times a day to be used for different purposes. This is a serious problem because this might result in spread of the epidemics among 1 million people.

Overwhelmed by the gratitude of people of Haiti, Capt. Rob Ennis, a Canadian Forces doctor based at CFB Gage Town said, "I never saw so many smiles on the med-techs' faces as there was at the end of the day. It was a fantastic day for all of us".
