update on Haiti – Feb 22, 2010
Haiti has been left in ruins after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake ripped through the nation on January 12, 2010. 3 million people are without food, clean water and shelter. The President of Haiti has estimated that the death toll could reach 300,000 as recovery efforts continue to pull bodies from the rubble.
ERDO is grateful for the many churches, youth groups and individuals who have already give to assist in Haiti relief efforts.
But the need is still great
ERDO, together with all aid agencies, is very concerned about the next steps in relief efforts. Sseveral hours of overnight rain have assaulted thousands of makeshift tents and temporary shelters which house more than one million displaced persons. The start of the rainy season is expected to lead to an increase in mudslides and outbreak of disease. Your help is greatly needed to ensure those in need receive the essential care they so desperately need. Read more about what ERDO is doing in Haiti or Donate now!
