Additional Information / Shotlist Hussein Choker, Freight Operator: “We have to prepare the flights, we have to prepare all the material to bring it up to Liege and then to deliver it in time to Haiti. So actually our challenge is the timing.”
Wedsneday 18 of August, Brussels.
“Today, we are at MSF Supply, which is the logistic warehouse for MSF, Médecins Sans Frontière. We are actually preparing for the emergency for Haiti. It was the earthquake that happened on Saturday.
We are here, working on the departure of around 300 to 400 m3, around 80 to 90 tons.”
“Here you can have a look at some of the items we are actually sending.
The tents, that could be a medical structure or actually a small home to receive people. It’s a 45m3 tent and it will be deployed in the field on the arrival.
Here is a lighting kit. It could be used as first aid lighting. Once it arrives in the field, it can be deployed fast, and it can be used to light up the tents that we have seen.
And also we have some medical items to treat injuries people have.
Friday 20th of August, Liege Airport
“ We are here at Liege Airport, we are loading the freight charter for Haiti.
We started with this on Sunday. Today, it is Friday. We are loading the first freight of this capacity.
So it took us four to five days.
So now, we are reaching the final step of loading a couple more palettes. Then we close the doors and the flight will be ready to go to Haiti.
