Large amounts of emergency food and water have begun flowing into the small Haitian town of Leogane.
Members of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit secured a small pasture for helicopters to land and load relief supplies into United Nations trucks. The trucks carry the loads to a separate staging area for distribution.
All the activity has drawn a curious but peaceful crowd. Two Marine translators speak to the onlookers in a relaxed manner -- not only to explain the mission, but to glean information from locals about the situation on the ground.
Originally from Haiti themselves, the translators not only know the language, but also the culture -- which seems to have a calming effect on the residents.
