Wyclef Jean and UNWFP help Haiti
The distribution of food by rapper WYCLEF JEAN's charity in an impoverished Haitian suburb turned into a series of brawls on Monday (15NOV05).
The FUGEES star's charity Yele Haiti had teamed up with the World Food Programme to hand out food in the Cite Soleil area of Port-au-Prince.
Fights erupted as people tried to get to the food, although the initiative had begun peacefully enough.
However, organisers have still hailed the distribution a success and point out that the locals' desperation to obtain the food clearly illustrates how much aid is needed in the Caribbean country.
