Haiti Earthquake Survivors Arrive in Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) -- More than 70 survivors of the earthquake in Haiti have arrived at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

The Haitian earthquake survivors arrived late Wednesday on a United Airlines flight and were greeted at the airport by Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, the Red Cross and others. They were given food and other supplies.

The same aircraft had earlier delivered relief workers and supplies to Haiti. United says it plans more relief flights to the country.

The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services says it plans to aid any children who have arrived. The Red Cross says it will offer medical care, translation services and access to computers and phones.
