Wednesday, an American humanitarian relief group, the Eagles Wing Foundation, had hoped to deliver more than one million meals to Haitians. At left, a Haitian worker hired by Eagles Wing rested while the convoy of fifteen trucks traveled to pick up rice. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

Eagles Wing hired 150 Haitians from a nearby missionary school, Mountain Top Ministries, as well as a team of Haitian security personnel, to help do the work. At left, workers rested in the back of a hot truck while waiting to find out where their convoy could pick up rice. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

The first stop was a warehouse to pick up food. But the pickup didn’t happen because a broken-down truck blocked the only entrance and exit. At left, vendors and hungry earthquake victims tried to get into an industrial park in Port-Au-Prince. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

At times, nearly impenetrable traffic engulfed the convoy. The trucks sat, barely inching forward, for nearly two hours. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

The U.S. military told the convoy to go to a nearby port, but U.N. soldiers there wouldn’t let the trucks in. The new plan: go to the airport. At left, pallets of water sat on the tarmac of the Port-Au-Prince airport. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

At the airport, workers transferred the food from large vehicles onto smaller trucks. The idea: quickly move out again to distribute it. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

At 3:41 p.m., it was the first work of the day for some of the men. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

About 30 minutes later, the smaller trucks were ready to roll. Nevertheless, they didn’t move. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

Word came that the U.S. military still needed clearance for the mission, and might want all of the food distributed at its locations. At left, daylight dwindled as Haitian workers waited for their convoy to leave. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

The Army told Mr. Lewis to take the trucks to the soccer stadium, where more U.S troops were based and where the food could be safely stored overnight. By now, darkness had fallen over Port-au-Prince, making travel more dangerous with such a valuable cargo. At left, two trucks loaded with food and personnel waited on a road. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

Soldiers of the 82nd Airborne sent to provide security moved with the convoy through the darkened streets, many filled with rubble. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

As the convoy approached the stadium, hundreds of Haitians who saw the trucks began following them, hoping the food was about to be distributed. When the trucks eventually moved on, Haitians living in a tent city, left, panicked as they realized the food wasn’t coming. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

The convoy started up its engines again and moved back out of the stadium entrance. At left, a relief worker stared into the night after the failed distribution effort. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

The next try: the presidential palace. Finally, the convoy returned to the only place it knew it could drop the food: the airport. At left, graffiti on the wall outside the entrance to the airport. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

At shortly after 8:30 p.m, the trucks unloaded the 150 tons of food next to a U.S. military tent back at the airport. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

Wilhelm, co-director of the distribution, watched as all the food aid was dumped. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)

“There are hungry people dying, and we failed,” said a disheartened Scott Lewis, founder of Eagles Wings Foundation. (Peter van Agtmael/Magnum Photos for The Wall Street Journal)
