Along with food and other relief material, the US military has been shifting many necessary items under the shift in the international relief efforts. The shifting is done to help the Haitians who are affected after the area gets hit by the recent earthquake of 7.2 magnitudes on August 14.

On Saturday, the US military aircraft went into the rural and mountainous Peninsula in the south of Haiti, the area that was the epicenter of the earthquake. The aircraft took off from Port-au-Prince. Out of many areas of Haiti, in Jeremie, the residents were happy and cheered up as the Marine corps unit reached there with rice packets and other necessary supplies.
