ELIZABETH COHEN, CNN SR. MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: …] But here’s what’s going on, Tony, that some people are finding pretty frustrating, is that with all of these hard times, they are getting – they’re not getting the equipment that they need.

HARRIS: Right. Right.

COHEN: For example, if you can guess, you know what they’re using for a tourniquet? They were using a belt. They’re using a belt. And here’s the belt. It broke, so they’re not using it anymore. Now they’re using a garden hose – Tony.

HARRIS: Oh boy.

Do you have any idea of the time frame for that location where you are right now, set up by the U.N., to get more supplies for the doctors who are performing these surgeries?

COHEN: Well, you know what’s interesting, Tony? It’s they don’t need more supplies, they need the right supplies.

So, on the one hand, they don’t have tourniquets and they have two blood pressure cuffs for 200 patients. But, on the other hand, here’s what they do have.

HARRIS: No, fine.

**COHEN: They have corneas. Yes, these are actual corneas from cadavers that people lovingly donated. You know, signed their organ card – and they have corneas. They’re not doing cornea surgery here. They’re barely able to do amputations.

Yes, so, no one knows how they ended up here. I found them underneath the table next to a box of granola bars. It’s just crazy, the kinds of things that are ending up here and the kinds of things that are not ending up here. HARRIS: And the stuff that’s desperately needed, to your point, that’s not ending up there.**

SCARY!

While media reports from Haiti express amazement at Israel’s well-equipped medical delegation to the quake-stricken nation, some critics have warned against organ theft.

The Israeli medical team dispatched to Haiti has set up a field hospital in the tremor-battered Caribbean country, winning Western media praise for doing what even their American peers have not yet managed to accomplish.

But a video posted on Youtube by an American resident of Seattle, Washington on Tuesday took the shine off the Israeli professionalism that media have raved about in the past few days.

In his video, T. West of a group called AfriSynergy Productions suggested that soldiers in the military delegation to the earthquake site in Haiti might be involved in stealing organs from their patients.

He warned that there are people operating in Haiti who do not have a conscience and are members of the search-and-rescue teams, including the Israeli army, Israeli news website Ynet reported on Wednesday.

West recalled organ harvest charges filed against the Israeli army in the past, and pointed out that there is very little monitoring during such tragedies.

He warned the Haitian people to protect their fellow citizens against international medical groups who have arrived in the country in the hope of making money off the tragedy.

In an interview with Ynet, West said he had nothing against Israel but fully opposed “the ideology of Zionism.”

“We saw what you did in South Africa and with the Palestinians. Because of our history and the suffering of our people, I understand what the Palestinians are going through.”

Last Tuesday, a 7 magnitude earthquake jolted Haiti, leaving an estimated 200,000 people killed — 70,000 of whom have already been buried in mass graves.

West, an African American who does “a talk show and journalism and volunteer for a few non-profit organizations,” appreciated the presence of Israeli military forces and others helping in Haiti, but noted “everywhere there is death, there are exploiters.”

“There needs to be transparency in Haiti,” he urged.

I am not going to beleive every piece of nonsense against the Israelis.

They have been doing this with the Palestinians, which they admitted last year. So why shouldn't we suppose that they might be taking advantage of the situation in Haiti also?

Just don't read the news source then. There is the Video and a conversation between the correspondent and the News anchor.
