(Trinidad Express) – Gennike Mayers, a Trinidad and Tobago national working with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), says the sites in earthquake-ravaged Haiti where the organisation delivered non-food relief supplies on Tuesday were “calm” as opposed to other areas where violence and disorder had prevailed.

Mayers is a communications officer with the ICRC and resides in El Socorro, San Juan, and previously worked as a radio producer with the State-owned Caribbean New Media Group (CNMG).

She was posted to Haiti by the ICRC since last Thursday and said she intended to remain there “indefinitely”.

The ICRC has estimated that more than three million people have been affected by the earthquake.

In an online interview with the Express from Haiti’s demolished capital of Port-au-Prince on Wednesday, she was asked about the reports and images from the international media of violence and a serious deterioration of security in Port-au-Prince since the devastating 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti one week ago.
