ABOARD THE USS NASSAU - Marines and Sailors from the USS Nassau are continuing to assess the mission in northern Haiti to determine how much food and medical aid is needed.
The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit are conducting surveys to determine the status of facilities before they deliver the neccessary supplies, such as rice, lentils and Meals Ready-to-Eat.
“We want to take a logical, step-by-step approach to determine where aid is needed and take a focused approach at determining which methods are best for getting it there," said Col. Pete Petrozio, commanding officer of the 24th MEU. "We want to do this the right way.”
Marines distributed more than 10,000 Meals Ready-to-Eat, a box of lentils that serves 500, as well as sacks of rice.
