Barbados turns down request to take injured Haitians

Stabroek News "(Barbados Nation) – Barbados has turned down a request to accommodate a number of Haitians injured in the January 12 earthquake, including amputees.

Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Maxine McClean said on Thursday that Barbados had been forced to turn down the request from the United States Embassy, partly because of the implications it had for the island’s under-pressure medical services, including a shortage of hospital beds."
