Paperwork Hinders Airlifts of Ill Haitian Children

From the article:

"After the earthquake struck, pilots and doctors were getting in shouting matches daily on the runway, with pilots saying they feared losing their licenses and being fined $400,000 if they did not have the medical parole forms from Customs.

The impact of the evacuation delays could not be more evident. Leaning over a premature baby girl at the field hospital here, doctors took turns squeezing an air bag to keep her lungs functioning and used heating packets from ready-to-eat meals to raise her body temperature because they lacked an incubator."
