Cuba's relief efforts in Haiti
Injured receiving medical treatment 18,000
Surgeries performed 17,000
Press coverage - virtually zero
Moral - life is unfair for many countries

No one is saying Cuba didn’t help Haiti.
No one is saying Cuba is stealing organs from dead Haitians.
No one is saying Cuba isn’t next door to Haiti.

To stephen/London: jpost reported already in the beginning that 300 doctors from Cuba were already there. (Plus still some doctors from another nation, how many/which country unfortunately forgot due to PC breakdown soon thereafter, now ok again thanks God). Cuba is the neighbour island, nevertheless it's naturally great what they have done!!! But Israel has rescued 4 (official 5 teams) + 8 Haitians (ZAKA team) = every 11th rescued survivor was Israeli-rescued. And all the tremendous work their doctors did, though coming from so far, bringing with them all their caring and very high level skills! I am so happy and proud they did it + sincerely count with the Sky blessing them for it, hopefully by getting the so needed peace asap not by war but as Israel deserves by negs.

Well done to all the countries who helped the Haitians.
All these countries did their best whilst there. I read an interesting article by a Botswanen Journalist, who asked 'where were the African countries' - also my question, where were the Arab countries during this crisis. Somehow, these countries seem to criticise the West, especially Israel, yet when they are needed - silence.
