Haiti - Humanitarian : Sending of an airplane full of medicine
Tuesday morning, Haitian Ambassador to Canada Frantz Liautaud went to Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport to attend a shipment of humanitarian aid to Haiti (16 pallets full of medicines and 2.8 million water purification tablets) to the victims of Hurricane Matthew, donated by "Food For The Poor" Canada. Note that at the controls of the plane to Toussaint Louverture International Airport was two pilots originating from Haiti, Gilles Hudicourt and Hans Obas.
Air Transat offered an airplane to Food For The Poor Canada (FFPC) to fill with emergency supplies. FFPC worked with Health Partners International of Canada (HPIC) to procure medicines to treat cholera and other diseases. HPIC mobilized Canada's pharmaceutical and healthcare industry, which responded with enough medicine to treat 50,000 people.
