The worst earthquake in 200 years struck Haiti yesterday, causing catastrophic destruction in the hemisphere's poorest country. The quake struck near the capital of Port-au-Prince, the most densely populated part of Haiti, and thousands are feared dead....The most urgent needs appear to be bandages, antibiotics, other basic medical supplies, and water tablets to prevent cholera outbreaks. The need for food and shelter is also growing especially given that these needs are severe in impoverished Haiti in the best of times.(excerpt taken from The Nation.com)Where you can go to help/info- groups/orgs who regularly work in Haiti:Haitian Timeshttp://www.haitiantimes.com/Haitian Alliancehttp://www.transformhaiti.org/Haiti 911http://earthquake.haiti911.com/Partners In Healthhttp://www.pih.org/MADREhttp://www.madre.org/Doctors Without Bordershttp://doctorswithoutborders.org/UNICEFhttp://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/haiti_52423.html
