Haitian President Rene Preval is imploring the international community to better coordinate the massive aid effort for his country and not to squabble over how to provide it.
Preval says it is ‘an extremely difficult situation. We must keep our cool to do coordination and not to throw accusations at each other.’
Preval spoke to the Associated Press today after a French minister complained that U.S. air traffic controllers had turned two French relief flights away from Haiti’s clogged and damaged main airport.
