Bolivian vice president delivers humanitarian aid to Haiti

Bolivian Vice President Alvaro Garcia traveled on Monday to Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, aboard a military plane with 50 tons of humanitarian aid for the victims of last Tuesday's devastating earthquake.

The aid included 20 tons of food, 20 tons of viands, 5 tons of medicines and 5 tons of blood and plasma.

Garcia will meet with Bolivian members of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Haiti, who are currently assisting the victims in Haiti.

Bolivian President Evo Morales offered the aid on Saturday and pledged to deliver more medicines and food for Haitian quake victims.

According to the United Nations, the number of Haitians affected by the earthquake could be more than 3 million.

The earthquake caused serious damage to the cities of Port-au-Prince, Jacmel and Carrefour, with the death toll feared to top 100,000.
