A ship carrying over 33 tons of food, water, and other relief supplies managed to dock Friday in the Haitian city of Gonaives, which was flooded this week by Tropical Storm Hanna. U.N. peacekeepers worked overnight to repair a storm-damaged dock in the city, and now soldiers and dock workers are off-loading 15 tons of water, 36,000 water-purification tablets, 16 tons of high-energy food, and two tons of rice. The goal is to distribute food and water within hours in emergency shelters housing 46,000 people. Many residents of Haiti's fourth-largest city began their fifth day without food or water Friday.
