4. Good

but by this time, it'll be needed for convalescence and rehab, not acute care.

More buildings in PauP collapsed this morning due to the second strong quake, but people were sleeping outside in a light rain so there were likely few new injuries.

Sleeping outdoors in the rain with no tent or tarp is miserable no matter how warm the weather is, but it kept them alive this morning.

8. Yesterday teams went to Jacmel FINALLY

and a few other places.

The Canucks will be operating in Jacmel and the USAF is opening that airport for logistics flight.

And I suspect the Mexican Navy Hospital Ship was sent there... since last time i checked the Canadians did not bring one...

The UN is coordinating so that would not shock me.

I have to go troll the Mexican Press today for the UN releases. Mostly the UN is a pain to navigate as a site.
