Oxfam: Haiti Earthquake Response

The extent of the devastation of Tuesday's earthquake in Haiti is now coming into focus, and we really need your help.Thank you to those who have already supported our response.
Here is the latest: news and images are coming in, painting a painful picture of the damage. The situation is worse than we could have imagined.
More than 50,000 are feared dead, with some estimates as high as 100,000 – with so much devastation, it's just too soon to tell
Oxfam staff on the ground have reported tragic scenes of bodies all over the city and piled-up at hospital entrances. Many thousands of people have lost their homes and will sleep out in the open again tonight.
Our team is there, providing clean water and emergency shelter to as many as possible of the 300,000 people now living homeless in this severely damaged city. But with the expanding scope of this emergency, Oxfam MUST rush more supplies and staff to Port-au-Prince.
Having worked in Haiti for over 30 years, Oxfam's team knows only too well the extreme poverty this country was already struggling to overcome. The people of Haiti do not have the resources or government infrastructure to respond to this crisis, so outside help is critical
The funds we raise today will determine how many lives we can save now and how many people we can help later to rebuild their lives.
Please, donate as generously as you can to Oxfam's Haiti Earthquake Response Fund.
Our thoughts are with the people of Haiti – thank you for supporting this emergency response - and again, many thanks to those of you who have already made a contribution.
