Hundreds of aftershocks have struck El Salvador, making it more difficult for rescue teams to dig out communities entombed in mud after Saturday's devastating earthquake. More than 400 people were killed, and another 1200 are missing.
Thousands are homeless.
International relief agencies are asking concerned citizens not to send clothing and blankets, but rather to send cash. Marketplace's foreign editor Karen Lowe reports. But Elizabeth Griffin of the relief organization AmeriCares says that they have warehouses full of material, and what they don't have will be donated by companies that make outdoor equipment and clothes. The immediate issue, she says, is shipping urgently-needed supplies. We'll be flying directly from Miami into El Salvador tomorrow.
