To date, these medical teams have been seeing patients beginning on Sunday, and since that time have seen 5,100 people....the USN Comfort, a large hospital ship, arrived from Baltimore with more than 600 medical persons on board, bringing a tremendous capability to the people of Haiti."

"This is a massive relief effort. It's an international effort with the UN in the lead and the Haitian authorities in the lead and the United States there to work together with them in support of their efforts not to supplant their efforts. This is perhaps the largest such humanitarian effort in history that we have seen, certainly in this hemisphere; involving food supplies, water supplies, medical supplies, personnel, reconstruction, stabilization."
