Urgent Need Continues for Haiti
The Situation:
On January 12 at 4:53 p.m., a magnitude 7.0 earthquake rocked the island country of Haiti, primarily impacting its capital of Port-au-Prince and its nearly two million residents. It is believed that over three million citizens of Haitis are effected. The epicenter of the quake was centered approximately 10 miles west of Port-au-Prince. Offices, hotels, houses and shops have collapsed. Over 30 aftershocks ranging from 4.2 to 5.9 have already been recorded.
The city is without electricity and the telephone network has been overloaded with calls making it impossible to reach friends and family.
The presidential palace is in ruins and many churches have been destroyed. Hospitals that were not directly impacted by the quake are overflowing and the search for survivors is intense. Already one of the poorest countries in the world, this catastrophe will exacerbate the suffering felt by many already living with hunger and poverty.
You are encouraged to make a generous online donation through the ELCA Disaster Relief Fund which pledges that 100% of the monies received will be used for direct relief efforts in Haiti:
