Veneman said more resources were also vital to keep relief helicopters in the air. Many remote communities have been cut off after the earthquake triggered landslides which swept away mountain roads. Veneman said she had seen injured people being brought down to field clinics by helicopter on Sunday. "We're now three weeks and one day after this incident and people are still being found who are in dire need of medical care," she said. There had not been enough helicopters to reach remote areas and get people out, she said, noting helicopters were also vital to get food into cut-off communities.
