A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck near Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince yesterday afternoon, collapsing buildings and homes, including all existing hospitals in Port-au-Prince and the surrounding areas. With communications from the area disrupted and practically nonexistent, the situation remains unclear — but with continued aftershocks and eyewitness accounts of "total disaster" and chaos, it is becoming apparent that there is catastrophic damage and widespread casualties.
About three million people were affected by the earthquake. Haitian government officials are estimating death tolls in the tens-of-thousands, and thousands more are living in the ruined streets of the country's capital.
The American Reform Party has established a Haitian Disaster Relief Fund to raise urgently needed funds to be sent to the distressed island nation for food, medical supplies and the families of Haiti. THEY NEED OUR HELP!
Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, is plagued by hunger and political instability. This disaster will drastically increase the needs of families who had little to lose in the first place.
Families need your help -- food, shelter and other supplies -- in the aftermath of the worst disaster to strike Haiti or the region in years.
Please give whatever you can today to help Haitian families.
