Why is it only the cruise ships docking there? Can't relief ships with supplies & aid to the Haitians also dock there? Again, it is another location to get supplies onto the island and then transport it inland into the interior of Haiti.

I understand that the Harbour/docks are damaged in Haiti from the quake and that's why everyone is trying to get in & out of the small airport... Don't any of the military branches of todays nations still have amphibious landing craft? Wouldn't that be another way to get supplies in to the more outlaying regions of the Haiti? Haiti is an island. There MUST be other inlets, bays, or harbours with beach-heads that could be utilized with the landing craft... In other words, make in-roads into the interior thru other means beside the air... Since some of the roads seem to be damaged, what about low tech transport methods? Use the amphibious craft to make the beach landings with burrows in the hold. Load up the burrows on shore & cart the stuff in that way. (The burrows could later be killed for the meat to feed the Haitans.) If not burrows, how about ATV's?... MAYBE CUBA STILL HAS THE MEANS FOR A LOW-TECH ENTRY TO DELIVER & TRANSPORT THE SUPPLIES?
