Description:
A volunteer trys to calm a sea of people trying to get the last handouts of food rations at distribution site set up by the U.S. Army at a golf club on the hills above the capital of Port-au-Prince Haiti, Tuesday January 19, 2010. Both the 82nd Airborne and NGO's are distributing as much food as they can but getting enough rations for the estimated 25,000 people on the hill has been nearly impossible. As the situation unravels in the capital many are fleeing outside the city. A week on since Tuesday's earthquake left the capital in total destruction with thousands dead and hundreds of thousands homeless and living on the streets. The U.S. military and aid agency are arriving at the Port-au Prince's main airport and are trying to fan out across the city with relief supplies but security is lacking in most areas.
