The Portuguese government said Thursday it would send a 32-member rescue team to help earthquake-hit Haiti. 'We are going to send a C-130 plane of the Air Force with 32 civil protection officers trained to answer to these kind of emergencies,' said Joao Gomes Cravinho, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation. Gomes said the aid sent by Portugal had a value of 400,000 euros (580,000 U.S. dollars). 'This is the most essential aid, the most valuable. We will be working in coordination with the European Union and the United Nations at this moment. We are going to analyze the possibility of sending tents and food,' Gomes added. Portuguese President Anibal Cavaco Silva said on Thursday that it is 'time for the world to move' and send humanitarian aid to Haiti. 'Nobody can remain arms crossed at this catastrophe of tragic dimensions,' Cavaco told reporters. Cavaco expressed his condolences to the Haitian people and authorities due to the 'immeasurable' amount of deaths in the impoverished Caribbean country and also extended his condolences to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon over the death of many UN peacekeepers in Haiti. The exact number of casualties caused by the earthquake is unknown yet, but it was announced Thursday that 36 UN employees had died, with nearly 200 others, including Hedi Annabi, the UN secretary-general's special representative, remained unaccounted for. Haitian President Rene Preval said he had received reports of death tolls ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 from the Tuesday's magnitude-7.3 quake.
