Obama told reporters the situation on the ground in Haiti "remains dire," noting that the continuing desperate need for food, medicine and shelter will get worse with the start of Haiti's rainy season.

Washington has already provided US$700 million in aid to Haiti. And a donors conference is planned in New York for the end of March.
