Christian Aid Haiti earthquake appeal  DONATE HERE

Christian Aid has launched emergency appeal for Haiti today, Wednesday 13 January, after a major earthquake struck the country. Thousands of people are feared dead and countless have been left homeless.

The quake, measuring 7.0 on the Richter Scale, struck 15km southwest of the capital, Port au Prince. The Christian Aid office building collapsed and three people, including Christian Aid staff, had to be rescued from the rubble.

It is still too early to know the full extent of the damage, but Christian Aid is expecting very high loss of life, widespread destruction of homes, schools and other buildings, and major damage to key water, electricity and road systems. 

Haiti is already the poorest country in the Americas, ranking lower than Kenya or Bangladesh on the UN human development index. Most people in Port-au-Prince live in flimsy slum housing, so an earthquake of this magnitude is catastrophic.

Christian Aid partners in Haiti are very experienced in emergency response work, and will begin emergency relief activities in the affected areas as soon as possible. The need is massive. People urgently need food, water, blankets, shelter and medical supplies.
