THIS WAS A FUNCTION OF WHAT SENATOR OBAMA USED TO CALL THE "EMPATHY DEFICIT"...:

U.S Is to Resume Haitian Evacuations (DAVID GAUTHIER-VILLARS, BETSY MCKAY And JENNIFER LEVITZ, 1/31/10, WSJ)

Why the evacuations were suspended is unclear as various government authorities have provided different explanations.

Despite a massive effort by the U.S. military and other agencies, medical facilities in Haiti remain strained.

...but that was during Katrina...
