Thailand is monitoring the situation in quake-devastated Haiti to see how the country can additionally help relieve Haitian survivors, Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said Friday.

Thai government Thursday approved a humanitarian fund of US$20,000 for Haiti in the wake of the powerful quake Tuesday.

Thailand will consider sending more relief fund or military rescuers to Haiti, Suthep said.
