A powerful earthquake that struck Haiti’s Southern Peninsula on Saturday morning has claimed more than a thousand lives, with the death toll still climbing. Many more have been injured.
All We Can and the Methodist Church in Britain have launched a Joint Appeal, after together assessing the likely response needs.
Graeme Hodge, All We Can CEO said, “Our joint response with the Methodist Church in Britain, to deliver life-saving inputs through local partners who are there already, means aid can be deployed quickly. The first five days after a quake are when lives are saved, or lost. We’re speaking with local actors now, and invite anybody wishing to support the response to give now.”
Across the region, large-scale damage has been caused to a majority of churches and hotels. The Methodist church in the Jeremie area is among buildings affected.
As the Methodist Church in Britain and All We Can together launch a joint response, please give, and join us in praying for the initial assessment and early response.
