WASHINGTON, D.C. (BNO NEWS) – A Baptist World Aid (BWAid) Rescue24 team has arrived Sunday in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and has begun working in a local clinic.
The team consists of members from Hungary and North Carolina; they flew to a location close to the Haiti-Dominican Republic border and were escorted by United Nations peacekeeping soldiers. They will remain in Haiti for one week, providing emergency medical services.
“Immense chaos, confusion, and the terrible smell of dead bodies,” said the group, describing what they encountered.
The team says they’ve come up against horrific scenes. “The situation is terrible, I have never seen anything like this,” said Bela Szilagyi, head of Hungarian Baptist Aid, who has been working in major disaster zones for more than ten years. Szilagyi is one of the leaders of the BWAid Rescue24 team in Port-au-Prince.
Baptist World Aid is the humanitarian arm of the Baptist World Alliance, a worldwide alliance of Baptist churches and organizations.
