Haitian earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter Scale was the worst to hit the country in 120 years. The epicentre was within 10 miles of the centre of the densely-populated capital, where around one million people live. 50,000 so far confirmed dead – with the prime Minister fearing the death toll could top 100,000. Millions have been left homeless, injured, orphaned and in desperate need of aid which is currently being flown in from across the world.
The most urgent needs at this time are search and rescue, hospital care, emergency health, clean water, emergency shelter, and logistics. IAHV in association with Art of Living Foundation is responding to the earthquake that has devastated Haiti. A group of volunteers from Dominican Republic are leaving with relief material to Port Au Prince.
IAHV is working on mobilizing its youth leaders in Haiti for providing relief work. We will also provide our trauma relief programs after the rescue efforts and plan for long term rehabilitation.
