CARACAS, Venezuela, CMC – President Hugo Chavez announced Sunday that there would be new humanitarian brigades going to Haiti soon to help that country, shaken by last Tuesday’s magnitude-7.3 earthquake.

“Venezuela is at Haiti’s disposal. There are already two humanitarian brigades in the land of Alexander Petion and others will leave Venezuela soon,” Chavez said.

    I wonder if some of you ignorant fools who are commenting here know that Venezuela was one of the first countries to have sent a team on the ground in Haiti immediately after the quake. Check your facts and stop belching out the usual garbage.

    well I’m not anticipating any war or anything like that. I just wanna know if Venezuela will get denied access to land like other countries were denied. Or If despite the 2 countries tensions, the US will allow venezuela to land and help in the relief effort.
