Russian aircraft with humanitarian cargo lands in quake-hit Haiti

A Russian aircraft with humanitarian cargo landed in the quake-hit Haiti on Friday, Sergey Melik-Bagdasarov, the Russian ambassador to Venezuela and Haiti, told TASS.

"This humanitarian aid is provided within the frames of the WHO [the World Health Organization] project of the emergencies relief operations," he said.

Melik-Bagdasarov also said that another Russian aircraft carrying humanitarian cargo is expected in Haiti in a couple of days.

A magnitude 7.2 earthquake rocked Haiti on August 14. The epicenter of the earthquake was located 40 kilometers of the city of Les Cayes, which boasts a population of 125,000, at a depth of 10 kilometers.
