MAF explains the role of aircraft in Haiti

Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) has released a new video detailing exactly why aircraft are vital in disaster relief, especially in relation to the recent Hurricane Matthew. Vaugh Woodward, a member of MAF’s international disaster response team, explains that the damage caused to ground infrastructure in Haiti means that aircraft are the only way for aid to be brought in to some of the areas damaged. The south side of the island is also difficult to approach via boat due to sheer cliff faces and reefs, he says.
