Hundreds of Haitians protest slow delivery of aid

Hundreds of Haitians have gathered outside the country’s international airport, to show their outrage at the slow delivery of aid supplies for earthquake victims.

The demonstration took place on Wednesday, just hours after the first heavy rains since the January 12 quake.

The frustrated and weary protesters insisted aid groups are not doing enough to get supplies to the survivors.

Haitian police and American forces dispersed the crowd but many protesters parked their cars and trucks to block the entrance to the airport.

According to the government, the magnitude-7.0 earthquake killed 230,000 people and destroyed 250,000 homes.
