About the Community

At 16.53 on Tuesday, the worst earthquake in two centuries hit south of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince. Registering at 7.0, the disaster is being described as "a catastrophe of major proportions". Damaged communications make it difficult to estimate the extent of the damage; the International Federation of Red Cross estimates up to 3 million people have been affected.

Tens of thousands have lost their homes, and many are feared dead. Survivors have been coping with a series of aftershocks.

As the poorest country in the western hemisphere, Haiti is believed to be ill-equipped to deal with such a disaster. 85% of people already live in poverty and the nation has suffered a number of recent disasters, including four hurricanes and storms in 2008 that killed hundreds.

Please give what you can to help relieve the suffering of those affected.
