A distribution of food, tents and other emergency supplies dissolved into chaos when a group of men from a neighboring village invaded a January 30 distribution organized by the Lutheran World Federation, a member of the ACT Alliance, in the village of Gressier outside of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Here a Haitian police officer pushes the crowd back with his shotgun. A police woman eventually fired two shots into the air, motivating the crowd to flee. A January 12 earthquake ravaged the Caribbean nation, leaving hundreds of thousands hungry and increasingly frustrated and desperate.
