Additional police and troops are being sent to Haiti to bolster security amid relief efforts in the wake of last weeks deadly earthquake.

For many earthquake victims, even six days after the disaster, the story is still one of frustration as aid is only slowly getting through.

While at the airport the debate rages over the prioritising of military flights over civilian aid flights, in makeshift relief camps some earthquake victims are going hungry while others are fighting for food.

Al Jazeera's Mike Kirsch reports on the situation from Port-au-Prince. (Jan 19, 09)

1. Great piece of investigative journalism by Al Jazeera English

All that work for a stick of sugar cane! Without thorough reports like this we'd be clueless as to what's really going on.

2. Al Jazeera..

is probably the best news source out there. With people like Riz Khan and Sir David Frost + many many ex BBC people, they are reliable and thorough.
