What's Up with Customs in Haiti?

In a news report captured Thursday, CNN's Soledad O'Brien tries to find out why Haitian customs in Port-au-Prince is stalling relief supplies into the country.

Evidently, CNN’s pressure on customs is helping because at 3:15 p.m. Friday afternoon, I received a Twitter message from the orphage mentioned in this newscast, stating that their 2100 pounds of cargo had finally been released from customs...with no charge! However, we have not heard if the relief supplies were released yet to the medical doctor, missionary and other workers who were televised by CNN.

Please pray that all these relief supplies will be released without charge so they can be quickly delivered and distributed to people in need.
