A 40-strong Chinese medical team is aiding Haitians made homeless in last month's major earthquake at one of Haiti's biggest shelter camps. The team was supplying care for Haitians at a medical tent set up at Mays Gate, a public park that has become an emergency shelter for 15,000 people.

The team offered four medical specialities in two shifts at the site, the second base for the team since they arrived 10 days ago. The doctors replaced a military search and rescue team that had recovered bodies from the headquarters of the UN mission in Haiti.

"The trauma in the quake are similar to those seen in (China's) Sichuan," said Senior Colonel Liu Wendou, who heads the team that had served in the Sichuan earthquake in May 2008.

"They tend to have serious physical injures, anxiety and nervousness because of the quake," Liu said, adding that many Haitians also suffer malnutrition and chronic diseases due to poverty.
