CARACAS, April 13 (Xinhua) -- A fleet of airplanes
carrying 364 tons of food for humanitarian help took off on Sunday from
Venezuela to Haiti. <br><br>
President Hugo Chavez said the shipment is to help
relieve the crisis in Haiti that has plagued the country for the last
nine days. <br><br>
Since last week, Haiti has been the scene of
disturbance due to a sharp hike in food prices. The situation has also
led to many deaths, including a 36-year old Nigerian soldier from the UN
peace-keeping forces attempting to stabilize the situation in Haiti.
<br><br>
The humanitarian aid from Venezuela includes tons of
meat, chicken, ham, milk, vegetables, olive oil and lentils, according to
President Chavez. <br><br>
The commander-in-chief of Venezuela assured that the
humanitarian gesture would be accompanied by strong security. <br><br>
