Haitians crowd outside embassy as Canadian efforts continue in Jacmel, Leogane

By Jonathan Montpetit (CP) – 1 day ago

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Crowds continue to gather outside the Canadian embassy in Port-au-Prince - Haitians hoping to escape the city more than a week after it was rocked by a massive earthquake.

Authorities says a staggering two million people are homeless while thousands are still without a steady supply of food and water. Outside the capital, members of Canada's Disaster Assistance Response Team are in the quake-ravaged town of Jacmel, while Canadian soldiers in the town of Leogane are continuing efforts to help.

With heavy equipment coming from Port-au-Prince, Canada and Jamaica, DART hopes to be pumping potable water in Jacmel within the next few days.

OTTAWA - Canadian military forces are going to base a big part of their Haitian earthquake relief operations in Jacmel, a southern port city where Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean spent her summers as a little girl.

The plan was outlined Monday by Brig.-Gen. Guy Laroche, commander of Canadian Forces in Haiti, and Canadian ambassador Gilles Rivard in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital.

"Jacmel is cut from the world," Rivard said.

Laroche said Canada's DART - disaster assistance relief team - was headed to Jacmel and the navy vessel HMCS Halifax will be based offshore the city about 40 kilometres south of Port-au-Prince.
