Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. 2010.2.12 - The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has stated that three of the world's largest logistics companies: TNT, UPS and Agility, have played a vital role in delivering food and other humanitarian supplies to victims of the Haiti earthquake.
 

 
WFP is the humanitarian community's lead agency for logistics and has been coordinating the delivery of supplies into Haiti from a base in Santo Domingo in neighbouring Dominican Republic on behalf of organisations involved in the relief effort.
