Franklin Graham: Haiti relief must be done properly

BOONE, N.C. (AP) _ The Rev. Franklin Graham says the weeks-long detention of U.S. missionaries who tried to take children out of Haiti shows the importance of doing good in the right way. Graham says his Samaritans Purse ministry is preparing to build.

7,500 temporary homes for Haitians still living outdoors after last month’s earthquake. But he says to avoid legal problems, his teams must first determine who owns the land where shelters are to be built. Samaritans Purse also has been sending surgeons, chaplains, water purification and food distribution teams to Haiti for what Graham says will be a long-term relief and rebuilding effort.
