At the Santo Domingo rental car area large vehicles and SUVs are in short supply. They are also expensive - $140 / day for a Suzuki SUV with insurance for Haiti. There was a French search and resue team that came with tons of stuff. They had been waiting for 24 hours for transportation.
We have met some security personnel who had driven out of PAP this morning. They say everything is much better than just 2 days ago. From a security standpoint, they say its like a rough neighbourhood. This morning they saw couples walking holding hands and some evidence of limited looting. The UN forces and armed forces are out in high evidence this morning for the first time.
Most of the bodies are gone. The smell is letting up now except around buildings still being cleaned out.
It's a 5 hour drive to the Haiti border and then 1.5 hours to PAP. the road is safe, The big issue is the distribution of supplies at this time. Everyone is looking for water.
