Solidarity with the victims of a powerful earthquake in Haiti
Comhlámh, the Irish Association of Development Workers and Volunteers, expressed shock and sadness after Haiti was hit by an earthquake last night, the most powerful to hit Haiti in over 200 years. In the capital, Port-au-Prince, tens of thousands have lost their homes, thousands are feared dead, and up to 3 million people have been affected by the earthquake. We would like to encourage our members and supporters to express their solidarity with the victims of the earthquake and to respond to the appeals launched by Irish development agencies. We hope that all people in the distressed area, including development workers and volunteers, receive much needed support during this crisis.
You can access some of the appeals under the following links:
         
Christian Aid appeal    Concern appeal    Goal appeal    Haven appeal    Irish Red Cross    Oxfam appeal    Trocaire appeal    How you can help
