(National News-Barbados, West Indies) The director of Israel's National Burn Center at Sheba Medical Center, Prof. Josef Haik, has arrived in Haiti to help patients who were badly injured on Dec. 14 when a fuel tank truck crashed and exploded, killing 65 people and burning dozens of others. Haik is leading the mission in cooperation with the U.S. Burn Advocates Network (BAN) to hospitals in Haiti that are still overwhelmed with the wounded. Haik said, "We're going to do as many surgeries as we can to try and help their wounds. We will bring equipment they are lacking and teach them how to use it and leave it there so they can continue rehabilitating Haiti."
