Bodies are being piled up on the streets of Haiti's capital as the country's Prime Minister estimates 100,000 people might have died in yesterday's earthquake.
Thousands of buildings including schools, hospitals and homes have collapsed. Even the presidential palace and the capital's main prison have turned to rubble. The International Red Cross says one-third of Haiti's 9 million people may need emergency aid and governments and charities around the world are mobilising in an urgent effort to get the aid effort underway. The International Red Cross in Geneva has warned that with roads blocked and almost all communication lines down, it is extremely difficult to accurately assess the situation in Haiti. It believes up to 3 million people could be homeless, injured or dead. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...?section=world Help is desperately needed there . I'll quote Jnana's post from another thread: Doctors Without Borders is worthy of your support. http://doctorswithoutborders.org/ Quote:

There are questions now about making sure that the donations that people are offering are safe, not stolen! and invested where their donors intended the moneys to be. That's good, and I hope that works out. Canada is also considering lifting immigration regulations for the interim, so orphans and/or family who survived are about to be with family in Canada - there is a large Haitian community here. |
