Three days after the earthquake , Port au Prince is still synonymous with chaos and destruction. The prevailing lack of coordination has been extended to the airspace, to the point that in the midst of a mobilization of international humanitarian unprecedented some permits had been suspended landing at the airport in the capital of Haiti Flooding and fuel shortages.

The epicenter of the quake, which was followed by three aftershocks measuring 5.9, 5.5 and 5.1 degrees, reached just 15 kilometers from the Haitian capital, which experiencing a social emergency of enormous proportions from that day, with thousands of people in the streets, hospitals collapsed and communications cut or very wrong.

Ten percent of homes in Port au Prince have collapsed or have become unusable, according to the Office of Humanitarian Affairs of the European Commission in the Haitian capital. The requests for help from the Haitian authorities have been echoed around the world without But chaos and lack of organization and coordination are a disincentive for everything promised and even what is on the way to reach their recipients, as evidenced by the collapse of air.
