Korean Rescue Team Begins Work in Haiti

A South Korean relief and rescue team has arrived in Haiti and has begun rescue operations following last week’s magnitude-seven earthquake that has left the capital city of Port-au-Prince in shambles.

The National Emergency Management Agency in Seoul says the team arrived in Port-au-Prince around Monday 6:30 a.m., Korea time, and set out to work.

They have set the base camp at a factory site run by an ethnic Korean.

The 35-member team, including 25 rescue workers and seven medics, will stay in Haiti for ten days.
