PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — The U.S. military has distributed its first aid in the massive effort to help quake-ravaged Haiti.
A rapid response unit from the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division has handed out food, water and medical supplies to Haitians outside the main airport in the capital of Port-au-Prince.
The unit’s commander, Capt. Mike Anderson, says: “We’re here to do as much good and as little evil as we can.”
A helicopter has left the airport with water to distribute, and a reconnaissance helicopter is looking for dropping zones around the capital to move out more aid.
