Dutch rescue team returns from Haiti

A Dutch urban rescue team (USAR) arrived back in the Netherlands on Sunday after spending several days searching for survivors of the Haiti earthquake.


The mission rescued three people from under collapsed buildings and set up an emergency hospital which worked round the clock, the team’s commander Rob Brons told Nos tv.
The team also helped deal with the bodies of seven Dutch nationals killed in the quake.
The USAR team was set up in 2003 and this was its third mission.
