China initially announced emergency humanitarian aid worth 30 million yuan ($4.41 million), followed by an additional $2.6 million in cash and the deployment of a 40-member medical care and epidemic prevention team to the Caribbean country. Speed, dedication, generosity, willingness to respond to human concerns even when there are no diplomatic ties, Anthea Webb, director of World Food Programme (WFP) China, also present at the briefing with Malik, said of Chinas response. However, rescue and reconstruction inevitably takes time as the obstacles were massive, according to Webb. The airport of Port-au-Prince used to have a maximum of 12 flights landing, but it was receiving about 150 recent days. The trucks to carry the aid supplies were clearly not enough. Roads were blocked and telecommunication was being re-established. The focus of the UN was to get a concerted effort by the international community to help Haiti, Malik said, during which the organization was having dialogue with the Chinese government. The UN welcomed the establishment of a humanitarian corridor between the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti to allow the speedy delivery of aid to the areas most affected by the earthquake. The UNDP has issued a flash appeal for $41 million to fund a cash-for-work program in which Haitians are being hired to work in the early stages of recovery, such as clearing rubble and repairing fallen electricity lines. One of the challenges was rebuilding the capacity of the Haitian government so they can take the lead in reconstruction, Malik said. Patrick Willis Womens Jersey.

The teams had drawn 1-1 through regular time at Istanbuls Sukru Saracoglu Stadium before Jadson, one of five Brazilian players in Shakhtars lineup, hit a shot from about 12 yards in the 97th minute. Goalkeeper Tim Wiese got to the shot but let it slip over his own line to make Shakhtar the first Ukrainian team to win the UEFA Cup. Shakhtar, which first took the lead in the 25th through Luiz Adriano before Naldo equalized 10 minutes later, also became the last winner of the tournament in its present form. Europes second-tier club competition will be reshaped and renamed the Europa League for next season. While Wieses error decided the match, the first two goals -- both scored by Brazilians -- came from mistakes. Bremen defender Sebastian Proedl, starting only because of an injury to Germany international Per Mertesacker, first failed to cut out a simple pass by Shakhtar defender Razvan Rat. The ball ran to Luiz Adriano, who cut inside and lifted a shot over Wiese. Shakhtar, which was the better side throughout, created more openings during the next 10 minutes and goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov had little to do until Naldo hit a free kick over the wall following a foul on Markus Rosenberg by Fernandinho. The shot was firmly struck and almost right at Pyatov and he got both hands to it, but inexplicably could only deflect the ball into his own net. But those errors did not detract from the entertaining play on the field, particularly by the Brazil-inspired Shakhtar. With attacking midfielders Willian, Jadson and Ilsinho in support of lone striker Adriano, the Ukrainian team shrugged off its reputation for occasionally turgid play to frequently baffle the Bremen defence. Only the resistance of Naldo, yet another Braziilian at the heart of Bremens back line, seemed to deny Shakhtar a more convincing victory.
