PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (Reuters) -- Haiti appealed to foreign governments and charities on Wednesday to do more to help earthquake victims as rescuers pulled a teenage girl out of the rubble 15 days after her Port-au-Prince home collapsed around her. (...) Aid groups and troops from around the world have struggled to distribute food, water and medical care to an estimated 3 million Haitians injured or left homeless in the magnitude-7.0 earthquake. "I am not in a position to criticize anybody, not in the least people who have come here to help me," Preval told a news conference. "What I am staying is, what everybody is saying is, that we need a better coordination."

O presidente haitiano René Preval afirmou que a ajuda internacional para seu país chegou muito rádido depois do terremoto, mas o problema é a coordenação da distribuição, em entrevista à rádio França Internacional (RFI). "Há um problema de coordenação. A ajuda chega e não estamos preparados para recebê-la. Quando chega, nos perguntam: onde estão os caminhões para transporte, onde estão os depósitos?", explicou Preval. Preval descartou qualquer crítica aos Estados Unidos, cujos soldados desembarcaram na véspera ante o palácio presidencial em ruínas em Porto Príncipe. Muitos haitianos interpretaram isso como uma espécie de ocupação.
