The massive earthquake that hit Haiti has killed thousands of people and wounded many more. The quake, measuring 7 on the Richter scale, has caused widespread damage in and around the capital Port-au-Prince, leaving a large number of people homeless and without anything to eat.
The people of Haiti need food assistance as quickly as possible to prevent hunger worsening the misery already caused by the disaster.
WFP has food and staff already deployed in Haiti as part of its long-running operations in the country, and we are offering immediate assistance to those in need. In addition, emergency rations of high-energy biscuits are being brought in from our warehouses in the region. Together, WFP and Sodexo can help save lives.
Every hour we wait means more lives are at risk. Donate now.
