A magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck off the coast of Haiti on January 12. Thousands are feared dead and countless buildings have collapsed in what geologists describe as the strongest earthquake to hit the region in more than 200 years.
The earthquake is feared to have killed more than 100,000 and Haitian officials have stated that it is possibly much higher. Most of the damage was in the heavily populated capital of Porta-au-Prince.
You can help keep people alive.
Our friends at Food for the Hungry are working with their partners on the ground, providing the following to survivors:
* Water filtration systems
* Water purification tablets
* Kitchen kits and cooking supplies
* Flash lights, blankets & medical supplies
* Hygiene kits
* Temporary shelter tarps and plastic
Without this immediate disaster relief, infections and disease will spread, killing countless more Haitians. Food For The Hungry already have a head start with workers mobilized on the ground. But they urgently need additional supplies and support to save more lives.
Your gift of any size now will provide what they need to bring life-saving help to Haitians in need. Donate now at www.fh.org
