--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti (the strongest in 200 years) on January 12 has caused catastrophic damages and casualties in Haiti, especially in the country's capital, Port-au-Prince. The National Palace, government buildings, U.N. peacekeeping headquarters, hotels and hospitals have all collapsed.
Haiti has a population of 9 million. The death toll, so far, has been impossible to tally. Officials say they fear it could rise to a staggering 100,000-500,000. About one third of the population would be affected by the quake. Communication is still sporadic and unreliable. There is an urgent need for medical and emergency supplies.
Reaching out
After the afternoon prayer in Tzu Chi Melaka on January 14, the staff kicked start the fundraising for Haiti.
On the same night, at the Get-Together for commissioners and faith corps in Melaka, donations were collected.
"Help Haiti with Love" Campaign will be carried out on January 16-17 by Tzu Chi Melaka's volunteers at Tzu Chi recycling points and markets. The general public has started walking in to Tzu Chi's offices to make donations for Haiti.
Sending relief
Tzu Chi USA headquarters has established an emergency coordination centre to respond to the needs in Haiti half an hour after the earthquake.
Tzu Chi's relief team, including volunteers and doctors from the US and the Dominican Republic, is currently preparing to provide relief while Tzu Chi USA and global headquarters are preparing relief aid and medical supplies.
Tzu Chi Foundation in Taiwan is preparing 350,000 packs of instant rice and 50,000 blankets while Tzu Chi USA has 70,000 packs of instant rice and 20,000 blankets ready for delivering. Other items that are being prepared are clothing, medical equipments and water purifiers.
Tzu Chi US Headquarters and other humanitarian organizations are in the process of looking for routes into the country in order to provide aid.
Tzu Chi's footprints in Haiti
Tzu Chi has previously provided aid to Haiti in 1999, 2004 and 2009. In January 2009, Tzu Chi relief team traveled to Haiti to provide relief after the country was struck by a few hurricanes in 2008. Tzu Chi volunteers from the US, Dominican Republic and St. Martin provided supplies such as rice, corn powder, cooking oil, sugar, salt, instant noodles, tarp, eco-friendly blankets, plastic cloths, buckets (for food storage purpose), vitamins, dental kits and a set of portable dental equipment, benefiting 3,343 households in poverty-striken areas in Port-au-Prince and Cite Soleil. There were also long-term plans for other charitable and medical assistance.
Tzu Chi will continue to provide updates on its relief efforts. Please pray and direct our kind thoughts to the people in Haiti! Please make a donation and deliver our love to the people in Haiti! A small amount from you will go a long way to help the people in Haiti! Together, let us help Haiti with love!
